Mahajan gets support from Samajwadi Party in Shivani case

New Delhi, Aug 19: Union minister Pramod Mahajan
today got support from an unexpected quarter when the
Samajwadi Party criticised his "media trial" in connection
with the Shivani Bhatnagar murder case.

Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh said his
party opposed witch-hunting, personal character assassination
and levelling of allegations without substantial evidence.

"It is not fair to point the needle of suspicion at
Mahajan," he said adding, it was for the minister to decide
whether or not to resign from the government.
