New Delhi: Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav on Thursday floated the idea of forming a ‘Maha Sangh’ (Greater Union) comprising India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and asked BJP patriarch L K Advani to take the initiative in this regard.
“You have not been made a minister. It does not matter. You should work for the Maha Sangh. You should make efforts,” Yadav told 87-year-old Advani in Lok Sabha.
The SP leader made these comments while participating in a debate on the 119th Constitution Amendment Bill, which seeks to operationalise the 1974 India-Bangladesh Land Boundary agreement.
The people of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have no difference and want to come together, he said, adding even former West Bengal CM Jyoti Basu was from Bangladesh.
