Two days after the Congress wrested three Hindi heartland states from the BJP, PM Narendra Modi and Congress president Rahul Gandhi were a short distance from each other at a function in Parliament on Thursday but did not speak.

The two leaders were in Parliament for an event to pay tribute to the martyrs of the 2001 Parliament attack.

Modi was seen exchanging greetings with his predecessor and Congress leader Manmohan Singh. Union minister Vijay Goel and Minister of State for Social Justice Ramdas Athawale shook hands with the Congress president.

Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu, LS Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, BJP veteran LK Advani and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi were among others present. They showered petals on portraits of the martyrs killed in the attack 17 years ago on this day. — PTI
