Kolkata: Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav Sunday said he would not accept the resignation of Amar Singh from party posts and asserted that the problems, including Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt's decision to quit as general secretary, would be sorted out.

"It's true that Amar Singh has given his resignation from all party posts. But I will not accept his resignation. Everything will be ok," Mulayam told reporters at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport here.

Asked about Sanjay Dutt's announcement of stepping down from his post, he said: "Everything will be sorted out."

"The party will not accept his resignation. I will talk to him and sort out all the differences," Mulayam said after visiting ailing Marxist patriarch Jyoti Basu at AMRI hospital.

His statement comes just a day after Bollywood actor-turned politician Sanjay Dutt also stepped down as the general secretary of the party, supporting Amar Singh.

When asked about Sanjay Dutt's resignation, the Smajwadi Party chief said that everything will be fine soon.

On the other hand, another loyalist of Amar Singh, Bhojpuri singer and actor, Manoj Tiwari, also announced to follow the suit.

Speculation are high in the political corridor as some more prominent leaders will quit the party to support Amar Singh and put pressure on Mulayam.
