New Delhi: Suspended Samajwadi Party MP Raj Babbar today (Feb 9,2006) said he would soon float a 'Samajwadi Manch' to carry forward his battle for a 'clean and secular' polity as also unite all leaders having socialist ideology.

"If I am not expelled from the SP but remain suspended, I will continue to raise these issues through this Manch. If expelled, then I have to think what I have to do", Babbar told reporters when asked about his future course of action.

He, however, ruled out joining any other party.

"The basic purpose of launching such a 'manch' is to bring all those socialists together with whom I worked and walked since 1967 when I was part of the Samajvadi Yuvjan Sabha", Babbar told reporters when asked about his future course of action after the suspension.

The actor-turned politician said he would soon meet all socialist minded leaders including Sharad Yadav, George Fernandes, Satyadev Tripathy, Mohan Prakash and others for discussion on 'Samajwad' (socialism), "Which is not seen anywhere in any party".

He would be meeting S P leader Janeshwar Mishra this evening to apprise him of the latest developments, including the talks he had with party general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav at a public meeting in Agra on February two, 2006 and the developmental projects for the historic city, he said.
