Upsurge in India-Africa ties a 'win-win' situation: Ansari

NEW DELHI: The JD(U) tonight suspended its Rajya Sabha member Ali Anwar Ansari from the parliamentary party for attending a meeting of opposition parties convened by Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.

Party spokesperson K C Tyagi said Ansari has been suspended from the parliamentary party for attending the meeting of opposition parties despite the JD(U) severing its ties with the Congress-led UPA.

Leaders of 16 opposition parties, led by Congress president Sonia Gandhi, met here today to deliberate on evolving an “alternative narrative” to counter the BJP. (AGENCIES)
