Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting with senior ministers of his Cabinet.
Against the backdrop of developments in the Supreme Court on the Uttarakhand issue and the debate in Rajya Sabha on the AgustaWestland chopper scam, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today held a meeting with senior ministers of his Cabinet.
Soon after the meeting of the Union Cabinet, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad stayed back for a meeting with the Prime Minister.
While Mr Singh and Mr Naidu left soon after, Mr Parrikar and Mr Prasad were with the Prime Minister in the conference room of Parliament Library Building.
The Supreme Court today morning accepted the plea of the Centre that two more days be given to it to respond to its suggestion about the feasibility of holding a floor test in Uttarakhand Assembly under its supervision.
In the Rajya Sabha, Mr Parrikar targeted the previous UPA government over the controversial AgustaWestland deal, saying the ongoing probe will focus on those named in the Italian Court judgement.
