The first UPA co-ordination committee meeting after the recent Congress-NCP stand-off is likely to be held on August 7 or 8. "The Prime Minister asked me if I am available on August 7 and I have said yes," Pawar told reporters here today.

To a question on whether the issues NCP had with Congress had been settled, Pawar said his party wanted allies to have a say in parliamentary committees and other appointments. "Congress, being the single largest party, will get substantial representation, but allies too should be considered. Tariq Anwar and Praful Patel will hold talks in this matter with the Congress leaders," he added.

In Mumbai, NCP wanted better co-ordination among ministries and wanted no delay in clearance of pending files. Similarly, NCP view should be taken into consideration in appointments of IAS and IPS officers, he added.
