Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday declined to confirm or deny a 'secret' meeting with Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar amid a political tussle in Maharashtra. "Not all things can be made public," Amit Shah replied when asked about the purported 'secret meeting' with Sharad Pawar in Ahmedabad. The Sharad Pawar-led NCP is a member of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition government in Maharashtra that has been rocked by allegations of corruption against state home minister Anil Deshmukh by former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh. The ex-cop had alleged that Anil Deshmukh wanted police officers to collect Rs 100 crore monthly from bars and hotels in Mumbai.
