Congress rebel Sachin Pilot has called for a truce after a prolonged deliberation with the party’s top brass on Monday night.
He met with top Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Ahmed Patel and KC Venugopal, in Delhi wherein he discussed in detail his grievances concerning the working of state government.

“Several things were said, I heard a lot of things. I was surprised by a few things that were said. I think we should always maintain restraint and humility. There is no place for personal malice in politics. We had formed the government in Rajasthan after 5 years of hard work,” ANI quoted Pilot as saying late Monday night after the meeting in Delhi.

Pilot said all those issues were essential in the party’s interest and were based on principle.
“Since the past some time some MLAs were in Delhi, there were some issues which we wanted to highlight. I did that. I’d been saying since the beginning that all these things were based on principle. I always thought these things are essential to be raised in party’s interest,” Pilot said.
