In the all-party meeting that took place on Wednesday, convened by the government to address their concerns ahead of the Parliament session, the Opposition demanded a discussion on Manipur violence

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress parliamentary party chairperson Sonia Gandhi engaged in a brief conversation on Thursday in the Lok Sabha chamber.

The brief interaction took place just before the beginning of the Parliament monsoon session. Just as the House session commenced, the prime minister walked up to Sonia Gandhi and inquired about her health and well-being, to which Gandhi reportedly replied, “I am fine.”

This came a couple of days after a chartered plane with Sonia and former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on board, made an emergency landing at Raja Bhoj Airport in Bhopal on Tuesday evening.
