"Not Paying Attention": Centre Mocks Sonia Gandhi Over Her Letter To PM

Former Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's nine-point letter on the special session of parliament has drawn an acerbic response from the government. Mrs Gandhi is perhaps "not aware of traditions," wrote parliamentary affairs minister Pralhad Joshi, asserting that the government discusses the agenda with the Opposition only after the session begins. Mrs Gandhi had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier today, amid a political uproar over the buzz on a change of the country's name to Bharat.
