Jaipur, June 6 (IANS) Rajasthan Congress in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Tuesday termed the talks of Sachin Pilot forming a new party as mere speculation, as he ruled out any such possibility.
Stating that Pilot will not float a new party, Randhawa said, "Pilot and (Ashok) Gehlot will work together. Both of them know that the formula for reconciliation was reached on the day of the meeting in Delhi. But I cannot disclose the formula."
On Pilot forming a new party, Randhawa told reporters here: "There is no such thing. Only a few sections of the media are saying this. I am also hearing about this from you people only. Pilot never had any such intention, nor does he has it now. Both Gehlot and Pilot are assets for the party and they will work together."
On the reconciliation meeting between Gehlot and Pilot, Randhawa said: "We sat together and discussed the issues separately for four hours in Delhi. Everyone spoke, including Rahul Gandhi and K.C. Venugopal. We talked to both the leaders. Both have been conveyed that they are assets for the party."
The arrested persons have been identified as Zahir Hossain Mollah and Giasuddin Mondal. Both are residents of North 24 Parganas district. During questioning, they admitted that they crossed the border to Bangladesh to get the gold biscuits from one Karim Mondal -- a resident of Jessore district there.

Expressing concern, he said this needs to be checked with heavy hand with the support of the Union government. Mann sought intervention of the Home Minister to combat this challenge effectively.
