After a four-hour meeting of the UNPA, comprising
anti-Congress parties, Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav and his lieutenant Amar Singh met former President Abdul Kalam, a strong proponent of the Indo-US nuclear deal.
"Kalam said that the deal is national interest. We will inform UNPA leaders about our discussions with Kalam, who is a well-known and respected scientist of the country. He is the father of the nuclear technology of the country," Yadav said about his meeting with Kalam.
Mulayam's praise of Kalam and his statement that he
would carry these views to other constituents of the UNPA, who are opposed to the deal, is seen as a strong indication that SP, whose 39 MPs are crucial for the government in case of trial of strength in the Lok Sabha, was not averse to doing a deal with the Congress-led UPA.
