NCP (SCP) chief Sharad Pawar met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Parliament on Wednesday, a day after he visited the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) protest site at Jantar Mantar to back its agitation over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations. Baramati MP Supriya Sule accompanied Pawar during both the protest visit and the meeting with the Prime Minister.
The meeting came amid mounting Opposition pressure over Monday's police action against the CJP's 'Sansad Chalo' march, in which police used tear gas and batons to stop protesters heading towards Parliament despite prohibitory orders.
