Indian MPs hold confidence debate by renovatio

India Prime Minister, Mr. Manmohan Singh has described the nuclear deal as 'historic'.

The Indian parliament is debating a vote of confidence in the Congress party-led government that could decide the fate of a nuclear deal with the US.

The vote comes after the government's left-wing allies withdrew their support in protest against the controversial civilian nuclear accord.

Observers expect that Tuesday's vote following the debate will be close.

If the government loses the vote, India faces early elections and the nuclear deal would be under threat.
