Surprising That Congress Expects PM Modi to Apologise: Jaitley

Arun Jaitley termed the meeting between Congress party leaders and Pakistani delegation a “political misadventure”.

Virtually ruling out an apology by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on 11 December charged former prime minister Manmohan Singh with defying the national line by meeting Pakistani diplomats, and demanded to know the context, relevance, and necessity of such a meet.

Terming the meeting a "political misadventure", Jaitley wanted Singh and the Congress to explain the context of attending the dinner hosted by suspended party leader Mani Shankar Aiyar for Pakistani diplomats.

It is surprising that Congress party expects the Prime Minister of India to apologise for raising an issue about a meeting, which they had initially denied.
