NEW DELHI: : After having made his “economic grievances” public on the nuclear deal, Samajwadi Party (SP) general secretary Amar Singh has now raised “security concerns” about his party MPs with the Government.
Sources claim that Amar Singh has approached the Government to provide extra security cover to about half a dozen party MPs, including MP from Rampur Jayaprada. His demands have been forwarded to the Home Ministry for the threat assessment of concerned MPs before the Government takes a final decision.
The SP’s demand comes in the wake of threats and offers being made by the BSP to its party MPs to cross over and vote against the Government on July 22. While several MPs have informed this to the SP leadership, the party’s MP from Pratapgarh in Uttar Pradesh, Akshay Pratap Singh, has even written a letter to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha and the Home Minister seeking their protection before the vote of confidence.
