West Bengal CM and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee met NCP chief Sharad Pawar in Mumbai today.

Banerjee said Maharashtra and West Bengal have good relations and that is why she was going to meet Pawar.

"Let's be united, give justice to people and save our country and democracy," she said.

After the meeting, Pawar said, "Sanjay Raut and Aaditya Thackeray met her. Today, my colleagues and I had a long chat with her. Her intention is, in today's situation, like-minded forces have to come together at the national level and set up a collective leadership."

Banerjee appealed to members of the civil society to travel to across country to generate awareness towards this cause.

Noted lyricist Javed Akhtar, social activist Medha Patkar, actor Richa Chadha and stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui were among those who participated in the interaction.

On Tuesday, Banerjee met Shiv Sena leaders Aaditya Thackeray and Sanjay Raut. The meeting was seen as an outreach to fellow opposition leaders by the TMC head.
