Cong against of 4 senior ministers receiving Ramdev

New Delhi, Jun 1 (PTI) Congress today disapproved of the government's unprecedented step of sending four senior ministers to the airport to receive yoga guru Baba Ramdev in a bid to persuade him not to go ahead with the protest from June 4 saying it was "unnecessary".

"The party is not at all related to this entire exercise of sending the ministers to the airport to meet the Yoga Guru). We were not consulted. Was an yoga camp going on there?" highly-placed sources in Congress said, reflecting the disconnect between the government and the party over the issue.

They said talks with Ramdev were fine but there was no need to send the ministers to the airport to meet him.

The sources also suggested that Congress President Sonia Gandhi was not in the loop over the decision. "The party has nothing to do with it", they said.
