Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde meets Congress president Sonia Gandhi

NEW DELHI: Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde today met Congress chief Sonia Gandhi amidst the controversy over his attending a music launch function of a Bollywood film hours after the serial blasts in Patna on Sunday.

However, it is immediately not known what transpired in the 20-minute meeting between Gandhi and Shinde at 10 Janpath here.

Shinde on Sunday had attended the music launch of film ' Rajjo' starring Kangana Ranaut in Mumbai, a few hours after serial blasts rocked a rally in Patna which was attended by BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.

BJP criticised Shinde for attending the function and alleged that it has become a habit of Union ministers not to give attention to governance.
