Manmohan Singh not oK with congress Offer to contest from Punjab

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is in great demand in Punjab but despite a request from Congress leaders in the state, he is unwilling to contest from Amritsar, say sources.
The Punjab Congress unit made a "fervent request" to Manmohan Singh, telling him that Punjabis would be delighted if he contested the national election from Amritsar, home to the holiest Sikh shrine Golden Temple.
But the 86-year-old two-time prime minister has "not responded positively" so far, said sources.
