"We will possibly bring a privilege notice against the Prime Minister," Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh told reporters after his meeting with beleaguered former External Affairs Minister K Natwar Singh.

The SP leader said he had come to meet Manmohan with messages from AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa and TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu which he declined to divulge.
