PM meets President

New Delhi, Jul 1 (PTI) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
Friday called on President Pratibha Patil against the backdrop
of a cabinet reshuffle which is imminent.
Rashtrapati Bhavan(Presidential House) spokesperson
confined herself to saying that the meeting between the two
leaders lasted for 45 minutes during which they discussed the
forthcoming Parliament's Monsoon Session and current political
situation.
"They also discussed various other issues of national
and international importance," the spokesperson said in a
statement.
The meeting comes two-day after Prime Minister had told
a group of editors that a cabinet reshuffle was in the offing
saying it was work in progress.
Patil is going to south Indian city Hyderabad Saturday
on a week-long sojourn and speculation persisted that the
proposed reshuffle will take place after her return on July
eight. PTI SKL
