8230;and the missing extra

Amar Singhs deliberate silence on the Congresss criticism of Amitabh Bachchans presence at a Maharashtra government function has set tongues wagging. When asked,he quipped that Bachchan was capable of defending himself. But in the backdrop of his own laudatory statements about Sonia Gandhi and the family,many believe there is more to the silence. In another interesting detail,the Samajwadi Party has not taken any action against Jaya Bachchan for association with Amar Singh,and she too has toed the party line on Womens Bill. Political circles are wondering whether all is well within the Amar family,in which he used to proudly include the Bachchans.
