New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended a parliamentary party meeting of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) held here on Tuesday morning to chalk out the strategy for the Monsoon Session of the Lok Sabha. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and Railway Minister Ashwani Vaishanaw among others were seen arriving for the meeting that began at 9.30 am.
The meeting had been convened to discuss crucial organisational matters with party MPs, according to party sources. Most of the party MPs were in attendance at the meeting which was held at the Parliament House premises. The participants deliberated on the party's strategy amid logjam prevailing in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha over Manipur situation.
Both Houses were adjourned on Monday, a third straight day, amid uproars from the Opposition demanding an elaborate statement from the Prime Minister on the ethnic violence in Manipur. The first two days of the monsoon session last week witnessed similar scenes in Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha forcing the Chair to adjourn the sessions multiple time before adjourning it for the day. The Opposition protests inside the Parliament has kept the overall business as good as zilch.
