Prime Minister Narendra  Modi and Congress President Sonia Gandhi were on Wednesday present at a meeting of all political parties' leaders called by Speaker Om Birla at his room in Parliament after the monsoon session ended. IN the meet they both shared smiles and space after 17 days of the Opposition's vociferous protest over the Pegasus issue that didn't allow the House to transact business. 

The meeting took place at the Speaker’s chamber in the Parliament. The Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Congress's Lok Sabha leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and leaders of the Trinamool Congress, Akali Dal, YSR Congress and BJD have also attended the meeting.  The meeting was seen as an effort by the Speaker to build consensus on ways to ensure that rules are strictly adhered to.

Birla had earlier expressed anguish over the disruptions in Lok Sabha proceedings during the Monsoon session. The Speaker said that he was "extremely hurt" and voiced hope that parties will, through consensus, ensure that members follow the rules strictly and maintain the dignity of the House. The Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die on Wednesday, two days before schedule, after Opposition protests over the Pegasus snooping row, farm laws and other issues continuously marred the proceedings since the start of the session on July 19.
