<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->June 11 (Bloomberg) -- The India-U.S. civilian nuclear deal has run into difficulties, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said, increasing the risk of the agreement failing as George W. Bush's presidency enters its final months.
``Our domestic politics has prevented us from going ahead,'' Singh told civil servant probationers in New Delhi today. ``<b>I still continue to hope that we will make progress in the months that lie ahead</b>. It is very important for us to move forward to end this nuclear apartheid that the world has sought to impose on India.''
