Gandhi, according to people aware of the call, sought an all-party meeting, but Rijiju did not agree. The two had met for more than 40 minutes on Wednesday. The government says it wants regular communication with the Opposition, while Congress leaders accuse it of avoiding debate. The Congress will issue a three-line whip for the final week of the monsoon session, citing concerns over the FCRA bill and a possible delimitation-related Constitution amendment. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also due to meet rebel Trinamool Congress and Shiv Sena MPs. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: delimitation, FCRA, Kiren Rijiju, Parliament, Rahul Gandhi Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/rijiju-reaches-out-to-rahul-gandhi-to-end-parliament-deadlock/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
