NCP says govt will wriggle out of political crisis

Key UPA ally NCP today expressed hope that the government will wriggle out of the political crisis triggered by the DMK pulling out of the government.
"The government has been confronted with a similar situation earlier also and we faced it diligently," senior party leader Tariq Anwar told reporters outside Parliament.
Anwar dismissed suggestions that they would fight the forthcoming elections separately, saying their relations with Congress were intact.
Askes if his party would support the resolution on Sri Lanka, he said, "I believe the government will talk to other parties to build a consensus. We will talk then. We will not take any step which is against the interest of the country".

He said as the present issue is an international matter linked to Tamil Nadu, his party will take a decision keeping national interest and the country's foreign policy in mind.
To a poser on whether Union Minister Beni Prasad Verma should resign as demanded by Samajwadi chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, Anwar said it was an internal matter of the Congress but stressed that the Minister should not have made remarks against the SP leader.
