The much-touted and widely debated Indo-US nuclear deal cleared its last legislative hurdle early Thursday morning, as US Senate passed it after a two-and-a-half-hour debate, with members from across the political divide supporting the landmark accord. In the 100-member Senate, 86 members voted for the deal, while 13 opposed it. Presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and John McCain and Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden also participated in the voting.
US Secretary of State says this will 'solidify' Indo-US relations.
