The Opposition on Monday decided to skip a meeting called at short notice by leader of the Rajya Sabha, Piyush Goyal, to counter the charge that the government had not reached out to them to try and end the weeklong stalemate over the Pegasus snooping controversy and repeal of the three farm laws. Responding to a direct charge by the RJD’s Manoj Jha that ministers had not reached out to Opposition members to evolve a formula to break the deadlock despite a directive from the chairman, Goyal said: “I am appealing and inviting, on the floor of the House, the honourable leaders of different parties to join me over a cup of tea today at six o’clock (6pm). I am publicly inviting them to join me over a cup of tea. We are happy to discuss all the issues, evolve a consensus and develop a formula.’’
