New Delhi:  Samajwadi Party has reiterated that it will oppose the Lokpal Bill in Rajya Sabha when it comes for discussion on Tuesday.

"Our party will continue to oppose the Lokpal Bill in Rajya Sabha and our stand on it has not changed," SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav said outside Parliament House.

Describing the reported assurance given by SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav to Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath during a meeting as completely "fabricated", Yadav said, "It has never been conveyed by Mulayam Singh that Samajwadi Party will support the Lokpal Bill. It is aboslutely wrong."

Asked whether SP will continue to disrupt the House on the issue and not allow the Bill to be passed, he said, "I can only say SP will oppose it and not support it."

On the party's stand on the Bill, Yadav said, "Our stand has not changed. This (report) is only a rumour. You will see it tomorrow."
