Q2) Do you think Congress should form an alliance with Samajwadi Party? Haseeb: It is the need of the hour. We need them (SP). Congress party leadership must think over an alliance with Akhilesh Yadav positively as it could give better opportunities and result in upcoming polls. Q3) Have to got the order from party's high command to put this poster? Haseeb: No. No order from Congress high command. I wanted to make my voice heard to the leaders sitting at the top. Q4) You said in poster "Hum ek hai" (We are one). Why? Haseeb: Both the parties want to keep communal forces at bay. If our aim is one then why fight election separately? Q5) What you have to say on Dr Dr. A.K Bansal's death? Haseeb: It's a tragic incident. CBI inquiry must be ordered into this.
