NEW DELHI: The policy wonks in the US, too, appear to have lost hopes of the operationalisation of the Indo-US nuclear deal.
Former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger, who had visited New Delhi to lobby for the deal, on Friday said the US should leave India to make its own decision on agreement and then ���live with��� the outcome.
Mr Kissinger, who was upbeat about the US���s engagement with India said the ties transcended the nuke pact. US officials have been nudging India in the recent months to move forward on the deal highlighting how it stood to gain a lot once the pact is clinched.
���I have been involved in encouraging India towards the nuclear deal. It is now an Indian problem. India doesn���t need any lectures. It understands the imperatives of each decision,��� agency reports from Washington quoting Kissinger said.
���When the decision is made we will welcome it and live with it. Our relationship will be strong no matter what the decision,��� he said.
