New Delhi: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, who had demanded resignation of Union Minister Shashi Tharoor over his comments on economy class travel, had a meeting with Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday.
Gehlot's meeting with Gandhi came a day after his demand was virtually approved by the AICC, which did not rule out action against Tharoor, following the controversy surrounding the "cattle class" remarks.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has, however, described Tharoor's comments as a "joke".
Gehlot has been insisting that it was unfortunate and unbecoming on Tharoor's part to make such "irresponsible" comments and that he should resign.
