Rahul to accompany PM to Afghanistan

Once, he led a protest against the disruption of Parliament by Opposition and then spoke on the problems of sugarcane farmers of UP in the House. Of late, he has not been seen in the Lok Sabha at all and was missing at Veerbhoomi when the nation remembered Rajiv Gandhi on his birth anniversary last week. His much-publicised road-show in UP also failed to materialise.

Rahul is bound to hog the limelight on the trip to Afghanistan with the PM. Apart from meeting with host President Hamid Karzai, Manmohan Singh is scheduled to call on Baba-e-Millat and former king Zahir Shah and lay the foundation of the Afghanisatan Parliament House.
