For old time's sake

Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and party leaders today met US President Barack Obama.

The Congress delegation, which also included party Vice President Rahul Gandhi and former Commerce Minister Anand Sharma, met Obama and his wife Michelle at ITC Maurya Hotel, where they are staying.

The Congress had yesterday reacted cautiously to the "breakthrough" in the Indo-US civil nuclear agreement saying it would have to see the fine print on whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi has addressed issues raised by the US within India's legal framework and sought details as to how the difficulties were overcome.
