Nellore: The nuclear deal with the US is in the nation's interest and the government would not compromise on it, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi asserted on Thursday in her first public remarks after the Left withdrew support to the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA).
"We will not compromise on the nuclear deal because it is in the national interest. We need [the] latest nuclear technology and fuel from other countries," she said at a rally in Nellore in Andhra Pradesh, about 500 km from Hyderabad.
In a strong defence of the much discussed deal and of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Sonia said: "The nuclear agreement is in the best interest of the country. Future generations will recognise the value of this nuclear agreement and what the prime minister is doing today."
