On the Sabarimala issue, the BJP leader alleged Gandhi supported the Supreme Court verdict granting entry of women of all age groups into the ancient hill shrine. However, the state leadership of the Congress took a different stand on the matter, he said.
JP leader Pralhad Joshi attacked Gandhi over his stance on Sabarimala, saying Congress had no commitment towards Hindu sentiments and that Amethi has rejected the Congress leader.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday stressed on the importance of smooth functioning of Parliament and comprehensive discussions on the floor of House. The prime minister called upon the bigger parties to ensure that the House is conducted smoothly and the smaller parties are also given the chance to voice their opinions, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said after a virtual all-party meeting.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday chaired an all-party meet ahead of the Budget Session of Parliament and said that the Centre stands by its offer made to farmers in connection with the farm laws, reported the
Hindustan Times.
The government had on January 20 offered to suspend the implementation of the farm laws for one-and-a-half-years. The farmers, however, had remained adamant in their demand for a complete repeal of the legislations. Later on January 22, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said the negotiations on the laws can continue only if the farmers agreed to the Centre’s proposal.
During Saturday’s all-party meeting, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said the Centre was approaching the farm laws matter with an open mind, NDTV reported. “He [the Prime Minister] reiterated what [Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh] Tomarji said – that he is phone call away for talks,” Joshi said.
