Meanwhile, on Friday, some leaders of the Opposition I.N.D.I.A bloc met Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha Piyush Goyal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi to discuss on a way to end the ongoing deadlock over the Manipur issue.

They said the government is ready to hold a discussion over the issue but it depends on Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar under which rule the discussion would be held, PTI reported.

"The opposition members have been urged to share the draft of their proposal for the discussion on the Manipur issue. They are yet to share the draft. Let's see if it comes on Monday," PTI quoted a source as saying.

According to the report, during the meeting, the Opposition leaders also sought the revocation of suspension of Congress MP Rajani Patil.
