Mehboob Beg, an NC member of parliament and son of the late Mirza Afzal Beg, responded to the controversy by saying: "It will be wrong to say that accord happened between Mirza Afzal Beg and G. Parthasarthy."
"Mirza Afzal Beg could not go to meet Parthasarthy himself, Sheikh and Indira Gandhi were part of it. I don't know in what context Sheikh Nazir said so, but the fact remains that Mirza Afzal Beg was merely a representative of Sheikh when the accord was signed," Beg added.
