Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has vowed his controversial nuclear deal with the U.S. is on track despite domestic opposition. Singh spoke Tuesday in New Dehli.

Manmohan Singh: “The agreement, 123 agreement, that we have signed with the United States is an honorable deal, good for India, good for the world, good for the cause of nonproliferation. We have run into some problems domestically which we are trying to resolve, but as far as our government is concerned, we remain committed to see that this process is carried forward.”

Critics say the agreement would encourage nuclear production regionally and worldwide because it effectively rewards India for developing nuclear weapons outside the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
