Restraint And Not Pressure Stops ICBM Test: India New Delhi (AFP) May 15, 2006 
India on Monday said "self-imposed restraint" and not Western pressure prevented it from testing its longest-range ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. The assertion came a day after India's top military scientist M. Natarajan said he awaited the government's nod to flight-test the Agni-III missile which has an official range of 4,000 kilometres. "We have no pressure on us. Nor are we putting any political pressure," Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee told a military function in New Delhi.
