When asked about former SP leader Azam Khan’s statement that SP should apologise to Muslims,Akhilesh said that the party has not done anything which called for regret.

Earlier,party spokesperson Mohan Singh alleged that by making indecent remarks against Janeshwar Mishra,Amar Singh had made an unpardonable mistake.

“Why was he unable to detect ‘parivaarwad’ and dictatorship in the party in the last 14 years?” he asked.

Singh said the party would petition the Rajya Sabha Chairman to disqualify Amar Singh.

Amar Singh had given a cheap example by not resigning from the Rajya Sabha,he alleged.

Singh said that other than Jaya Prada and four MLAs no other MP or legislator was supporting Amar Singh.
