Maya threatening to arrest me under POTA: Mulayam
Friday, March 7 2003 14:35 Hrs (IST)

New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh developments rocked Lok Sabha for the third day on March 7 with Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav alleging that state Chief Minister Mayawati was threatening to arrest him under Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA).

Yadav also alleged a raid was conducted at his brother's house in a village in Uttar Pradesh.

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) members protested this, leading to an uproar with Congress and ruling party members complaining that only Uttar Pradesh and Bihar was being discussed in the House.

"How long we will bear with this," asked Margaret Alva (Congress) as the din continued.

Ananta Nayak (Bharatiya Janata Party) lamented that the disruption of Question Hour deprives people of the information they would like to have.

Yadav said, "I don't want to stall proceedings but I have been threatened."

To this, BSP members said, "We will oppose if something untrue is said here."

Speaker Manohar Joshi said he would only allow Mulayam to speak.
