The AIADMK on Friday said that it would clear its stand on the upcoming Presidential Poll in couple of days.

AIADMK leader and Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker M Thambidurai on Friday met Union Information and Broadcasting Minister M Venkaiah Naidu.

Earlier today, Naidu and Home Minister Rajnath Singh met Congress president Sonia Gandhi to hold discussions over presidential candidate.

Though Thambidurai described his meeting with Naidu as a courtesy call, it is believed that the duo may have discussed the upcoming presidential polls.

Naidu has been assigned by the BJP president Amit Shah to meet with the Opposition parties to seek their support for the probable Presidential candidate of the NDA.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley are also tasked to hold parleys with the Opposition over the Presidential candidate.

When asked the purpose of his visit on a day when the BJP is seeking consensus for presidential candidate, the Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker said, "It was just a courtesy call. Nothing political was discussed."
