Samajwadi Party (SP) supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav has come out strongly in support of the Indo-US Civil Nuclear Deal.

Mulayam along with his party General Secretary Amar Singh met former president APJ Abdul Kalam in New Delhi on Thursday to discuss the nuclear deal and after coming out said, “Nuclear deal is in favour of the country.”

“Kalam told us that the deal is in the interest of the nation and it is beneficial. Kalam explained to us the nuclear deal. Now we will decide what to do,” Mulayam said.

The SP chief also added, “Without the interest of the nation, there is no politics.”

“We will talk to UNPA and other leaders,” Mulayam said.

During the meeting Kalam told SP leaders that national interest should be kept in mind and the country is bigger than politics.
