Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh denied there was any pressure on his government on Iran nuclear issue.
Singh also rejected demands to seek recall of US Ambassador to India David Mulford.
"We will do what is right for our country. India's national interest is the prime concern whether it is domestic or foreign policy. We will not be under pressure", Singh told reporters on Iran nuclear issue at Rashtrapati Bhawan after the simple ceremony to expand his 20-month-old Cabinet.
The Prime Minister also said he would retain the External Affairs portfolio, vacated by Mr K Natwar Singh in the wake of the Volcker controversy, 'for some time' and denied that it would put extra pressure on him.
