From correspondents in Delhi, India, 10:22 PM IST

The meeting between National Security Advisor M.K. Narayanan and Amar Singh Wednesday was billed 'top secret' with neither side revealing the venue. Narayanan was to unravel the nuclear deal to Amar Singh layer by layer so that his party can end its dilemma and take a stand. The Samajwadi Party still does not know whether to support or oppose the deal.

As Amar Singh's car zoomed out of his 27, Lodi Estate bungalow, and moved towards Khan Market with the media entourage trailing it, police vans drew up and barricaded the road. They refused to allow the media to follow the Samajwadi Party leader to his undercover destination.

Thwarted on their trail, the journalists shouted at the police which summoned more personnel to the spot. Honking cars, wildly gesticulating journalists, angry policemen and animated bystanders held up traffic for 20 minutes.

By the time peace descended, Amar Singh had disappeared to his 'undisclosed destination'.
