Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Ramdas Athawale hopes to secure a meeting with US President Donald Trump when he travels to the United States in the second week of April. Athawale is scheduled to attend a UN function in New York city to commemorate the 126th birth anniversary of B R Ambedkar. But why will the US President be interested in meeting an Indian MP? Athawale has a plausible explanation on hand: Trump belongs to the Republican Party, while he happens to head the Republican Party of India, making their meeting an imminent possibility. Can one find fault with this reasoning?
