December 11, 2015
It's a rare sight by any measure. Prime Minister Narendra
Modi and Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi were seen shaking hands
and exchanging civilities at NCP chief Sharad
Pawar's 75th birthday celebrations.
Rahul greeted the PM with a 'Namaste' before he was about to leave and then the two followed it up with a handshake, reports NDTV.
The programme had brought together the entire Indian political league on
one stage -- PM Modi was seen sharing dais with Congress President
Sonia Gandhi, arch-rival Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, RJD chief
Lalu Prasad Yadav. Others included BJP patriarch LK Advani, Punjab Chief
Minister Parkash Singh Badal, Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav
and Left's Sitaram Yechury.
