(article 3) The Indian government survived a confidence vote in Parliament on Tuesday evening, paving the way for India to seal a landmark nuclear agreement with the United States.

(article 4) India's communists and several other opposition parties have launched a joint campaign over rising prices and a controversial nuclear deal with the US. (article 5) The government motion received 275 votes with 256 against, Speaker Somnath Chatterjee said, hours after adjourning the debate amid claims of vote buying.
