July 15, 2015 22:51

BJP General Secretary Ram Madhav, who had criticised Vice President Hamid Ansari for not attending the main yoga day celebrations here on June 21, called on him today.

Madhav presented a bouquet to Ansari during their meeting at Vice President House.

Sources said the meeting was sought by Madhav.

Madhav was at the centre of controversy when he had tweeted questioning the Vice President's absence at the Yoga day celebrations at Rajpath. The tweet was subsequently withdrawn.

Asked about the controversy and the accusation he was "targeting" the Vice President, Madhav had said, "As far as the tweet is concerned, it was withdrawn and the matter is closed there and ends there."

The government had also apologised for Madhav's criticism of Ansari's absence at the Yoga event where Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the chief guest.
