A meeting between BJP leader L K Advani and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was today called off, triggering speculation whether the BJP had a hand in the cancellation.

Interestingly, Kejriwal who had like other opposition leaders yesterday shared Advani's fears on the possibility of imposition of Emergency in India, had sought an appointment with the BJP veteran.

Sources in Kejriwal's office said it was conveyed to them by Advani's office that he has some engagements and cannot meet the Chief Minister as decided earlier.
