Congress unhappy with PM-Pawar meet

New Delhi: The Congress seems to be unhappy with NCP chief Sharad Pawar meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of farmers' distress in Maharashtra. The Congress sources say the meeting is sending wrong signals when negotiation for an alliance with the Sena is going on.

The Congress has already expressed apprehension on a tie up with the Sena. The NCP-Congress high-level committee is to meet to finalise the common minimum program (CMP). Sena MP Sanjay Raut has also claimed that there will be Sena-led government in the state soon.

The Shiv Sena has also raised the issue of changing of seats in the upper house, Sanjay Raut has shot off a letter to the Rajya Sabha Chairman saying, "when they have not parted ways from NDA officially, why their seats have been changed arbitrarily".

The two developments of Pawar-PM meet and Sena writing letter to Venkaiah Naidu are giving mixed signals, said a senior Congress leader. However, a top source said on Tuesday that at this point too, there is no commitment, and matters will move according to the talks, and Congress is "not in a hurry".

On Monday, NCP leader Sharad Pawar had met Sonia Gandhi and discussed the possibility of a tie-up.

After the meeting, Pawar said, "I have briefed Sonia Gandhi about the political situation in the state and leaders of NCP, Congress will meet to discuss the issues and then will report to Sonia Gandhi."

The Congress has also kept the window open, party chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said. Pawar has however ruled out any tie-up with the BJP, but said that during the meeting, supporting the Shiv Sena was not discussed.

Gandhigiri by Iranian protesters gets Twitterati praise



 (16:44) 





New Delhi, Nov 20 (IANS) A section of Iranians protesting against a sharp rise in petrol prices in their country embraced Gandhigiri to hand out flowers to troops deployed to control them, evoking support and praise from Twitterati.



Amid an Internet shutdown, Twitterati posted several clippings of protesters distributing flowers to security personnel in an Iranian city.



A user remarked: "Thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi".



With a hashtag IranProtests, a user posted a clipping and wrote: "History has repeated itself. In the runup to the 1979 revolution, protesters handed out flowers to the police. In this video, protesters in Shiraz are handing out flowers to the riot police".



Another user wrote: "Protesters giving flowers to the police saying "We are not the enemy", in Shiraz."



A user wrote: "Fight hate with Love!!! I love it!!"



"To stand in the face of terror with love and to try to bring civility to the chaos, is an act of true bravery. Sadly, people will lose their lives in this battle as history has shown us over & over. But goodness will prevail. Hoping for sooner than later", wrote a user.



A user posted a clipping of a burning vehicle along with a remark: "Yes but then they opened fire on protesters."



One user posted a throwback picture with protesters putting flower stems in gun barrels of troops and wrote: "#flowerpower #bernieboston march on the #pentagon #WashingtonDC".

"Protesters in India should check this out", wrote a user.



One was clearly reminded of a Sanjay Dutt-starrer movie. He wrote: "Munna bhai MBBS style"
