New Delhi, Feb 10: Suspended Samajwadi Party MP Raj Babbar on Thursdaysaid he would soon float a "Samajwadi Manch" to carry forward his battle for a "clean and secular" polity, as also unite all leaders having socialist ideology.
"If I am not expelled from the SP but remain suspended, I will continue to raise these issues through this ‘manch’. If expelled, then I have to think what I have to do," Babbar told reporters when asked about his future course of action.
He, however, ruled out joining any other party.
"The basic purpose of launching such a 'manch' is to bring all those socialists together with whom I worked and walked since 1967 when I was part of the Samajvadi Yuvjan Sabha," Babbar told reporters when asked about his plans after the suspension.
The actor-turned-politician said he would soon meet all socialist minded leaders including Sharad Yadav, George Fernandes, Satyadev Tripathy, Mohan Prakash and others for discussion on 'Samajwad' (socialism), "which is not seen anywhere in any party".
He was to meet SP leader Janeshwar Mishra Thursday evening to apprise him of the latest developments, including the talks he had with party general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav at a public meeting in Agra on February 2, 2006, and the developmental projects for the historic city, he said.
