Kiren Rijiju reaches out to Rahul Gandhi to break Parliament deadlock

New Delhi: In a bid to end the ongoing Parliament logjam, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday reached out to Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi seeking his cooperation for smooth proceedings during the remaining period of the Monsoon Session and also discussed the possible reintroduction of Delimitation and Women's Reservation Bills but did not get any commitment from the Congress leader, sources said.

The sources, however, said it makes no sense as yet to consider any special session, as being talked about in some quarters, as there is one more week left for the session to end on August 13. There has been speculation that the government may convene a brief special session soon after the Independence Day weekend.
