Received threat SMSes, says Amar

Amar Singh, once a prominent face in Samajwadi Party, on Sunday claimed he was receiving text messages asking him not to come to meet slain former MLA Sarvesh Kumar Singh Seepu’s family, as “he could also meet the same fate”.

Amar, who along with MP Jayaprada, had come to Amuwari Narainpur village to meet Seepu’s family members, however ruled it out as a threat, and said “nobody can dare to threaten me and it must be an advice.”
He alleged that the law and order situation is so bad in UP that leave alone common man, even public representatives are not safe.
Former MLA and BSP leader Seepu and Bharat Rai were shot dead by unidentified persons on July 19. The UP government has ordered a CBI probe into the killings.
Without taking any name, Amar claimed involvement of a UP minister in Seepu’s murder, and said this angle should also be kept in mind by the CBI team probing the murder.
Without naming any particular community, he alleged that “prominent leaders of a particular caste were being targeted and eliminated” as a part of a “conspiracy” by SP government.
Questioning the existence of “Samajwadi” model in UP under Akhilesh Yadav’s rule, Amar accused SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav of using leaders like Chandrashekhar, V.P. Singh, Amar Singh, Raghuraj Pratap Singh (Raja Bhaiya) and Ram Pyare Singh for political gains, and later disowning them. On Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi’s statement of being a Hindu nationalist, Amar said he should not have said this.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
