New Delhi, Nov 2 (IBNS) Congress President Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi are likely to meet President Pranab Mukherjee on Monday evening over the issue of rising intolerance in the country.

The meeting comes in the backdrop of scores of  writers, filmmakers, scientists, historians returning awards for rising intolerance and murder of rationalists Dr Narendra Dabholkar, Govind Pansare and MM Kalburgi besides the lynching of  Mohammad Akhlaq over rumours of consuming beef in Uttar Pradesh' Dadri area.

Expressing her concern over rising intolerance, Sonia had  vowed to fight the "diabolical design" of divisive forces to spread hatred, which she said "poses a threat to the unity of the country."
