Suspended Congress leader Natwar Singh found no enthusiastic political supporters at his residence on Tuesday except Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh, a day after the party brought the axe down on him.
Amar Singh went to the residence of the beleaguered former external affairs minister who lashed out Prime Minister Manmohan Singh calling him a 'weak' leader who was unable to stand by his colleagues in difficulty.
While many other opposition leaders kept away from Natwar, Amar held a 20-minute meeting with him and the battery of reporters camping in front of the former Union minister's residence kept on probing the Samajwadi leader whether the suspended leader will be joining his party.
Emerging from the meeting, Amar Singh said he did not discuss politics with Natwar and that it was only a 'courtesy call' to a person who was in trouble. "I always visit people who are in trouble."
He said Natwar had twice rejected SP's offer in the past. "We even offered the Bharatpur (Rajasthan) Lok Sabha seat to him when P V Narasimha Rao had expelled him from the party,"
