New Delhi, Sept 9: A meeting between Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi and Jyotiraditya Scindia scheduled to take place on Tuesday has been postponed.

Scindia is the chairman of the screening committee for upcoming Maharashtra assembly elections and a meeting of Maharashtra Congress is scheduled to take place today afternoon. 

Meanwhile, NCP Chief Sharad Pawar called on Sonia Gandhi at her residence today. The meeting between the two senior leaders took place at 10 Janpath on Tuesday afternoon.
