The United States has ruled out the possibility of a renegotiation of New Delhi's nuclear accord with Washington, which has drawn huge criticism from Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's Left allies and Hindu nationalist opposition, the Outlook magazine reported in its latest issue that hits the stands Saturday.
"We cannot renegotiate it because the agreement is done. Neither government wishes it to be renegotiated because it is now complete," the magazine quoted U.S. undersecretary of state Nicholas Burns as saying in an interview.
The interview came amid strong criticism by India's Left leaders aligned with Singh's Congress-led government and opposition parties of the deal, which they say will impact New Delhi's strategic options.
Burns refused comment on criticism by the Indian Left parties.
