"There had been no protest by any Muslim organization against the nuclear deal and the rumours being spread about it are the brainchild of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati who wants to exploit the situation to her political advantage", Samajwadi Party spokesman Rajendra Chaudhary said.

In fact the ulemas of the Deoband seminary have expressed their opinion in favour of the deal, Chaudhary claimed adding that by adopting the stand similar to that of the BJP on this issue, Mayawati has again proved that both the BSP and saffron party think alike.

"She has yet again proved that she has an understanding with the BJP and that she is against the Congress ", Chaudhary said.

On the survey published in Urdu newspaper Nai Duniya, which claimed that 70 per cent Muslims are against the deal, Chaudhary said that on the contrary majority of Muslims are in favour of the deal and have appreciated SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav's stand on the issue in national interest.
