Congress not untouchable for SP: Amar Singh

Betul, MP, Apr 1 (UNI) Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh today said no party including the Congress, was untouchable for his party except communal forces.

Mr Singh, who was here to campaign for SP candidate for the Lok Sabha by-election from Betul constituency, told reporters here that his party had always been against communal forces and the struggle against them would continue.

Replying to a question, he said, ''In a democratic setup, there is option for talks with everyone when the matter concerned the people and the country.'' Regarding attack on north Indians in Maharashtra, he said central ministers must provide reply about this matter.

Taking a dig at central policies pertaining inflation, he said the Centre had miserably failed on this front.

On SP legislator Vijay Bahadur Singh Bundela not following the party line during the Rajya Sabha election, he said strict action against him would be taken soon.
