"It has been reported in sections of the media that a meeting was held at the residence of Rajnath Singh attended by BJP and RSS leaders to discuss the forthcoming elections in Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland, " a CPI - M statement said.
"Some of the media have also reported that Doval also attended the meeting.
If correct, this is a shocking violation of norms and serious misconduct, " the Communist Party of India - Marxist said.
"How can a senior government functionary like the NSA be present in a meeting to discuss the BJP's election campaign?
The Home Minister must immediately clarify. "
