The Congress has sought a report from its Maharashtra unit on the allegations levelled against state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. In a virtual meeting of the party's state core group held late Sunday evening, Maharashtra state in-charge H.K. Patil discussed the situation that has emerged after the allegations were levelled against the state Home Minister. Those who attended the meeting included state chief Nana Patole, legislative party leader Balasaheb Thorat and others.

Patil later said he has sought a report from the state leaders. Sonia Gandhi on Sunday sent Kamal Nath to meet Sharad Pawar and get a first hand information on the issue while the party has maintained that there was no threat to the government and any attempt to topple the government will be thwarted. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Sunday said that there was no question of Anil Deshmukh's resignation in the wake of the sensational allegations levelled against him by former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh.
