During the monsoon session of the Parliament, several such incidents took place that showed a clear break in the relation between Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar and Opposition leader Sushma Swaraj. A lot of disturbance happened during Swaraj’s take on Telengana, and in reply Sushma tore through Rahul Gandhi’s speech on the Anna issue. She also raised several questions on Speaker’s decision to give time to Rahul Gandhi. Then Sushma also loudly raised the issues of chief secretary’s post in Lok Sabha secretariat. But it looks like Meira Kumar is trying to assuage Sushma’s anger. For starters, she gifted the Opposition leader a lovely sari for Diwali. Then she gave daily newspapers a big chance to carry pictures of her warmly holding Swaraj’s hands – just before the winter session starts. All so that at least this session passes peacefully.
