Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi had a brief conversation at a Parliament programme marking Mahatma Jyotirao Phule's birth anniversary on Saturday. Modi inquired about the health of Rahul's mother, Sonia Gandhi, who recently recovered from hospitalization. The interaction drew attention as the two leaders rarely engage beyond pleasantries at public events. Both paid tributes to the social reformer, with Modi calling him a visionary dedicated to equality and justice.
