Lok Sabha MP seeks protection

NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha member Atiq Ahmed on Sunday sought protection from the Central government stating that he feared threat to his life.

In a statement from Delhi, Mr. Ahmed — who was elected to the Lok Sabha on a Samajwadi Party ticket but expelled from the organisation subsequently — also said the Congress was the only party which could give India proper leadership.

In an evident bid to build bridges with the Congress to which he is understood to have sent feelers, Mr. Ahmed said the Congress alone had the experience to rule a country as diverse as India.
