<b>No threat to UPA govt. if Left decides to part ways: Arjun Singh</b>
Morena (MP) (PTI): Asserting that Indo-US nuclear deal was in the best interest of the nation, Union Minister for Human Resource Development Arjun Singh on Monday said there was no threat to the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre even if Left decided to part ways.
"This deal is in the interest of the country. That is why Congress party is supporting it. If Left parties are withdrawing their support on the issue, even then the UPA government will not collapse and will prove its majority in the Parliament," the senior party leader told reporters here. On L K Advani's statement that the UPA government was in minority following Left party's decision on the issue, the HRD Minister said, "It seems, Advani is in a hurry to become Prime Minister".
To a question on the issue of Congress-led Jammu and Kashmir Government's decision to revoke allotment of land to Amarnath Shrine Board, he said BJP was trying to communalise the issue for its narrow political ends.
Squarely blaming the saffron party for the communal violence at Indore during the bandh call given by the BJP and its sister organisations, the Union Minister said arrest of party leaders Digvijay Singh, Narayansami, Kantilal Bhuria, Suresh Pachouri and others could have lead to law and order problem.
