Manmohan Singh, Rahul Gandhi, Top Opposition Leaders to Attend Sharad Yadav’s Meet

New Delhi, August 17: Former prime minister Manmohan Singh, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and senior leaders from opposition parties are likely to attend a meeting that seeks to save “composite culture”, to be hosted by Janata Dal United leader Sharad Yadav on Thursday.

The JD(U) MP said that apart from the Congress, the Left and the Samajwadi Party, representatives of other opposition parties, including the Trinamool Congress, Bahujan Samaj Party and Nationalist Congress Party, will also attend the meeting which is being widely seen as a show of strength against his party chief Nitish Kumar‘s decision to ally with the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Asserting that “composite culture” was the soul of the Constitution, which he alleged was being “tinkered with”, Yadav said similar meetings would be held across the country. He added that the decision to hold the event was taken weeks ago.
