Sangh Parivar meeting later this month

New Delhi, Jun 23: A crucial coordination meeting of Sangh Parivar members is on the cards later this month, senior Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Acharya Giriraj Kishore said today.

The meeting would be held by the end of this month, outside Delhi, he said while talking informally to reporters here.

''It will be a meeting of the entire (Sangh) Parivar,'' he said.

He did not share further details about the meeting, saying he would not participate in it.

Acharya Kishore claimed ignorance about the nature of discussions on at the two-day meet of BJP and RSS brass at the residence of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, but added that the meet was preparatory in nature when compared to the meeting of all Sangh constituents scheduled ''by June end''.

''Jab char bartan hote hain to khadakte hi hain (There'll be noise when there are four vessels),'' he quipped, citing an adage in Hindi when asked about reported differences between the top BJP leadership.

He complained that the media did not talk of ''differences in the Parivar'' when senior Congressmen Natwar Singh or Arjun Singh talked at variance with their party's stand or criticised unknown enemies in their party.
