Amar Singh threatens to quit SP over Azam Khan issue

NEW DELHI: Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh has threatened to quit over party member Azam Khan, who he said insulted him. ���SP can exist without me but not without Azam Khan, it appears,��� said an upset Amar Singh.

Trouble started when actress Jayaprada was renominated as the SP candidate from Rampur. Azam Khan asked the leadership to remove Jaya from what he saw as his political turf.

Mulayam Singh Yadav then asked a sulking Azam Khan to contest the high-profile minority seat himself.
