"I have nothing to comment on the issue. There are a number of people to speak on the matter," he told reporters in Lucknow. "I have no objection if anyone takes my name," Mulayam said. "When there is a need I will take names, and if there is no need I will not," he added.

The controversial CD carries audio clippings of a purported telephonic conversation between Shanti Bhushan, co-chairman of the Lokpal Bill joint drafting committee, expelled SP leader Amar Singh and Mulayam Singh, about influencing a judge.
