Acknowledging that uncertainty existed over the nuclear deal between India and the United States, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday said that India would have to watch what happens when the US Congress takes up the deal in November.

Answering a question over the delay in the vote on the deal in the US Congress, Singh said he had always maintained that India wanted a deal within the July 2005 and March 2006 statements signed by him and President George W Bush.

"But one has to reckon with the fact that we have no control over the legislative process in the US, (and) that uncertainty will always exist. There is nothing that I can do to get over the uncertainty," he said on board his special aircraft while returning from Johannesburg to New Delhi.
