Rajya Sabha chairman M Venkaiah Naidu on Friday stepped up efforts to end the face-off between the government and the Congress over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘conspiracy with Pakistan’ remarks against his predecessor Manmohan Singh.
According to sources in Parliament, Naidu met Ghulam Nabi Azad, the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Anand Sharma, Congress’ deputy leader in the House, and Vijay Goel, minister of state for parliamentary affairs, in his chamber to explore ways to end the impasse. He also met the three separately. What transpired at the meeting was not immediately known, but apparently there was no breakthrough yet.
