PM reviews govt strategy ahead of House session
Sunday, November 17 2002 20:17 Hrs (IST)

New Delhi: On the eve of the winter session of Parliament, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee on November 17 reviewed the government's strategy with the party's top leadership in the wake of the developments in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh on which the Opposition is expected to mount an onslaught.

Soon after the meeting, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pramod Mahajan said government was prepared for a discussion on all issues ranging from Gujarat to disinvestments, especially in the oil sector involving IPCL and BPCL.

"We are prepared for discussion on issues ranging from Gujarat to the disinvestments and it all depends on the Lok Sabha Speaker to decide on what subjects to be taken up in the House," he said.

The meeting was attended by Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani, Finance Minister Jaswant Singh, External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha, Information and Broadcasting Minister Sushma Swaraj and Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Santosh Gangwar.

The meeting comes ahead of the dinner meeting Lok Sabha Speaker Manohar Joshi is slated to have with leaders of all political parties to discuss the issues before Parliament.
