India won't accept new N-deal terms: PM

New Delhi: The UPA Government on Wednesday told Lok Sabha that India will accept no new conditionalities in the civil nuclear deal with the US.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh assured the House that there will be no compromise with the understanding of July 18, 2005.

Intervening during the Question Hour, Singh said his Government was making efforts to ensure "utmost transparency" and "overall accountability" with respect to the deal reached between him and US President George W Bush.

"We will never compromise in a manner which is not not consistent with the July 18 Joint Statement," Singh told the Lok Sabha.
