Party leader Arvind Sawant wrote to Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju ahead of the all-party meeting called by the government on the attack, as he informed him about his and Sanjay Raut's inability to attend it. Raut is a Rajya Sabha MP of the party. He said both of them were on an official tour as members of parliamentary committees. Sawant, the party's leader in the Lok Sabha, shared the text of his communication to Rijiju and later provided a revised version of it.
