Sharad Pawar, Yashwant Sinha Host High Level Opposition Meet
Political circles are abuzz with speculations about the agenda of the opposition parties’ meet in Delhi on June 22. Some call it an attempt to drum up support against the BJP juggernaut ahead of the 2024 elections while others label it a meet of ‘like-minded’ individuals. Hours ahead of the meeting at Sharad Pawar’s residence in Delhi, Yashwant Sinha, tweeted that the NCP patriarch was hosting a meeting of his “Rashtra Manch", a political action group he set up in 2018. “Sri Sharad Pawar has kindly agreed to host the meeting at his place," Sinha said in what seemed to be an attempt to put to rest the rumours around putting together a Third Front to take on PM Modi. Sinha’s tweet was followed by yet another “clarification" by NCP’s Nawab Malik. Malik said the meeting would see invitees such as senior advocate KTS Tulsi, former chief election commissioner SY Qureshi, former ambassador KC Singh, lyricist Javed Akhtar, filmmaker Pritish Nandy, senior lawyer Colin Gonsalves, media personalities Karan Thapar and Ashutosh.
