India, Oct. 16 -- Amid growing speculation over Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray aligning with the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) leader Supriya Sule on Wednesday said that there was nothing inappropriate in political parties joining hands for the sake of national interest.

Sule, however, added that the inclusion of the MNS in the Opposition alliance would be decided collectively by senior MVA leaders.

Asked whether the alliance had found a new partner in Raj Thackeray, Sule responded, "There is nothing wrong in coming together in the national interest. But decisions like these are taken jointly by senior leaders, not before the cameras. Once the discussions are held, the outcome will be shared."...
