"The Imam said that the deal could either be anti-India or pro-India and this is for the nuclear experts to decide. It cannot be pro or anti-Muslim," sources close to the Imam said.     
In the meeting, which lasted around 70 minutes, the ongoing political developments were also discussed.

The Imam told the leaders that he felt compulsions of Uttar Pradesh politics had led to the closeness between SP and the Congress, the sources said.     

 

Yadav and Singh told the Imam that the UNPA could not go along with the SP in supporting the Congress as its constituents like TDP and INLD are competing against the Congress in Andhra Pradesh and Haryana respectively, the sources said.
