New Delhi: Dubbing Amar Singh`s resignation
from the Samajwadi Party as internal matter of that party, NCP
today refused to be drawn into any controversy over admitting
the sulking leader into its fold.

"Samajwadi Party is a friendly party. Both Amar Singh and
Mulayam Singh Yadav are our friends. We do not want to get
into this controversy," NCP spokesman Devi Prasad Tripathi
told reporters here.

He was replying to a volley of questions over admitting
Amar Singh into the NCP after he quit his posts in the
Samajwadi Party last week.

"He (Amar Singh) has not given any such indication,"
Tripathi said when asked whether the SP leader was keen on
joining the NCP.

"It is an internal matter of the Samajwadi Party and we
have no comments to offer," was his refrain.

Tripathi, also an NCP General Secretary, said he had a
long chat with Amar Singh after the latter quit from his party
posts following reported differences with the SP chief`s
family.
