KEEPING AWAY from the controversy over public outbursts of party MP Raj Babbar against him, Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh today trained his guns at Congress accusing it of compromising country’s foreign policy and toeing the US line on the Iran issue.
“Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and United Progressive Alliance chairperson Sonia Gandhi are working as blind followers of the United States and have risked the very sovereignty of the country by referring the Iran issue to the UN Security Council,” he said addressing a conference of weavers here.
Reiterating that his party would oppose the visit of President George Bush to India, Singh said the US wanted to force its will over other countries.
