The Story in Brief
Three breakaway Trinamool Congress MPs will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi over breakfast on Friday, the Times of India reports. Abu Taher Khan, Khalilur Rahaman and Yusuf Pathan are now with the Nationalist Citizens Party of India but have not joined the BJP-led NDA.
The Murshidabad lawmakers met Union minister Amit Shah on Thursday and raised concerns over SIR tribunals and the removal of loudspeakers from mosques. They have stayed away from two NDA meetings. The other 17 NCPI legislators and six Shiv Sena MPs supporting the NDA will also meet Modi on Friday.
The Indian Opinion
The meeting may invite claims that the three MPs have already joined the NDA, but the report says they have so far refused to attend its meetings. The opposite claim, that a breakfast meeting means nothing, would also be premature given their meeting with Amit Shah and their stated concerns. The useful test is whether they attend the next NDA meeting or formally announce their position.
