Government reaches out to opposition to break Rajya Sabha logjam
New Delhi, Aug 3 (PTI) Union ministers Piyush Goyal and Pralhad Joshi on Thursday reached out to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and other opposition leaders to break the logjam in Rajya Sabha, which has witnessed repeated disruptions over the Manipur issue.
Leader of the Rajya Sabha Goyal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Joshi met Kharge, who is also the Leader of Opposition in the Upper House, after opposition alliance INDIA skipped a meeting convened by Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar to ensure smooth functioning of the House.
During the meeting, leaders of the INDIA bloc suggested that a discussion on Manipur should be initiated in Rajya Sabha in an uninterrupted manner to end the impasse. Hope the Modi government will agree to this, a source said.
