Congress termed the passage of the nuclear deal in the US House of Representatives as the ‘highest feat’ of diplomacy sculptured by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Party spokesperson M Veerappa Moily said the country is also ‘grateful’ to US President George W Bush who made it possible to happen due to his ‘untiring’ efforts.
"This is the highest feat of diplomacy chiselled and sculptured by our great statesman Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, guided and inspired by our visionary party President Sonia Gandhi," Moily said in a statement.
Congratulating the team of diplomats and nuclear scientists, he said "proud" India presents itself to the entire world "victory after victory" from the day MoU on 123 agreement to the trust vote and from the clearance of IAEA to the passage of the deal in the house.
Noting that 21st century has been heralded as the century of India and its glorious future, he said, "the great surge is now poised ultimately to have the approval of the US Senate and also the final signing of the nuclear agreement between India and the US."
