New Delhi, Jul 4 (PTI) Samajwadi Party leaders Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh today made it clear that they favoured the Indo-US nuclear deal as they met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress President Sonia Gandhi over the issue. After their 30-minute meeting with the Prime Minister, Yadav and Amar Singh appeared convinced that the nuclear deal is in the interest of the country and said they would try to convince other UNPA constituents on the issue.
The party, whose 39 MPs in Lok Sabha would be crucial for survival of the government if Left parties withdraw support, is likely to announce its decision on supporting the UPA in a couple of days. The SP leaders said former President A P J Abdul Kalam had yesterday elaborately explained to them the benefits of the deal and allayed fears about the national sovereignty or foreign policy being compromised.
"We have been opposing it (nuclear deal) as we did not have any new details. But now these new details have come," Yadav told reporters.
