Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday informed that NCP chief Sharad Pawar is scheduled to hold a meeting with Rashtra Manch leaders today, and added that it is not a 'meeting of all opposition parties'.

Speaking to reporters here today, Raut said, "Sharad Pawar is a big leader. People take his advice, be it politics, education, economy, cooperative sector or something else. As per my information and from whatever conversation I had with Pawar saheb, there is a meeting of Rashtra Manch leaders today with him. Now it is their matter what they shall discuss in the meeting. But, I won't say that this is a meeting of all opposition parties. SP, BSP, YSRCP, TDP and TRS are not participating in this meeting."

Raut's remarks came a day after Maharashtra Minority Affairs Minister and NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik announced that Pawar will chair a meeting with opposition party leaders in Delhi on Tuesday.
