Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) chairperson Sonia Gandhi urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to have a discussion on Manipur in the House, the party’s leader in the Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, said on Thursday.
Ms. Gandhi put across her demand during a brief conversation she had with Mr. Modi just before the House proceedings started. Sources claimed that the Prime Minister had spoken to Ms. Gandhi to inquire about her well-being after Tuesday’s incident when a plane she was on developed a technical snag and made an emergency landing.
Mr. Chowdhury, however, told The Hindu that it is customary for the Prime Minister to exchange pleasantries with Opposition leaders on the first day of the session.
