Indo-Russia Rafael Deal

Indo-US Nuclear Deal

Indo-France Defence Deal

Indo-Isreal Nuclear Deal

Correct Answer:

Indo-US Nuclear Deal

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Indo-US Nuclear Deal

During the UPA-I government (2004–2008), the Left parties were providing outside support. They withdrew their support in 2008 over opposition to the Indo–US Civil Nuclear Agreement, arguing that it compromised India’s sovereignty and aligned the country too closely with the United States.
