Veteran politician Sharad Pawar is "not hosting a third front meeting" today, it was clarified shortly before what now appears to be a gathering of politicians and intellectuals to "debate current events". Former Union Minister Yashwant Sinha, a former BJP leader who recently joined the Trinamool Congress, tweeted last evening that Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sharad Pawar was hosting a meeting of his "Rashtra Manch", a political action group he set up in 2018.
