Microsoft founder Bill Gates meets Montek Singh Ahluwalia

Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates met Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia in the national capital on Wednesday.

However, a scuffle broke out between media persons and Gates' security staff during his visit to Yojana Bhawan.

According to reports, media personnel were not allowed inside the Yojana Bhawan and when photographers started clicking the Microsoft founder entering the premises, Gates' personal security staff shoved a lensman.

Media personnel protested for not being allowed inside the building despite holding cards that allow accredited journalists to enter most of the government offices.

As media personnel tried to way-stop Gates after he came out of the building, a minor scuffle followed between his security personnel and media persons.

Gates is also expected to meet Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal later on Wednesday.
