Breaking bread

They are going at rapproachment peace meal, so to say. If it was the Congress that first invited Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh to the UPA8217;s gala dinner, the SP was not far behind with the return courtesies. So it was that Shahid Siddique invited Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to the wedding of his son. Although Rahul couldn8217;t make it to the reception, AICC general secretary in charge of UP Digvijay Singh and Sonia Gandhi8217;s political secretary Ahmed Patel marked their presence at the event. In fact, Siddique joined the two Congressmen at the dining table, keeping his other guests waiting. Now that is what warmth is all about.
