Speaking in the Rajya Sabha, Mr Dhankhar said: "I need to indicate to the House that we yesterday had a very fruitful interaction on the issue that is agitating minds of the public. There was a gracious presence of leaders of political parties, including the Leader of the House and Leader of the Opposition. Without going into the details, the deliberations were consensual, reflecting cooperation, concern, and the issue is not between institutions inter se."
