Tharoor meets Sonia Gandhi

New Delhi, Sept 22 (PTI) Union Minister Shashi Tharoor,
whose "cattle class" remarks had created a controversy,
Tuesday met Congress President Sonia Gandhi amid demands for
his resignation.
Tharoor, who was on an official visit to Liberia and Ghana
when the controversy broke out, met Gandhi soon after his
return here.
After his 20-minute meeting, Tharoor sped past without
taking questions from waiting newspersons.
His comment on his Twitter last week dubbing travel in
economy class as "cattle class" had evoked strong rebuke from
the AICC.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had even demanded
his resignation as Minister of State for External Affairs.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had downplayed the
controversy saying Tharoor's comment was a joke. PTI
