Reverse decision to divest PSU stakes: Left to Gov...EU wants child labour, environment addressed in FT...India needs more provisions for basic health care:...UNMC inspires India to ‘Stand Up & Take Action’

New Delhi, July 5: : Cracks appeared in the UNPA on Saturday with Om Prakash Chautala-led INLD seeking to distance itself from the Samajwadi Party's decision to support the UPA on the Indo-US nuclear deal.

"Congress has insulted them (SP) earlier...now for the third consecutive time, they wanted to be insulted. It is their own thinking," Chautala said in New Delhi.

The former Haryana Chief Minister said that the INLD is the "strongest opposer" of the nuclear deal and was worried "about the fact of becoming a slave of America".

"When the UPA came to power, these people (SP) supported them despite bearing humiliation. They were also running the Government in Uttar Pradesh with the support of the Congress," he said.

The Congress has "insulted them earlier and will insult them once again". The UNPA had on July 3 decided to seek expert opinion on the nuclear deal before finalising their opinion about the agreement.

However, after a meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and former president A P J Abdul Kalam, the Samajwadi Party leaders Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh changed their stand saying the deal was in the national interest.
