New Delhi: It was a meeting that generated a lot of interest both in the industry and the political circles. The Ambani brothers – Anil and Mukesh – came together at a meeting of leading industrialists at Opposition leader L K Advani's house.
And in a rare moment, the two shook hands for the first time in public after their much publicised fallout.
This family sideshow reportedly happened just before the meeting began.
Anil, who had reached ahead of time was chatting with some invitees when Mukesh arrived.
The presence of both the Ambani brothers was perhaps in sync with the turnout of industry bigwigs to discuss the financial crisis with Advani.
A a three-hour meeting called by Advani, serious concern was expressed by corporate heads over large-scale job losses in sectors like construction, textile and export units.
"All participants felt that the Indian economy was at a serious risk and the economic situation was worsening rapidly," senior party leader and former Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha told reporters after the meeting, attended by 15 prominent industrialists.
