Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, along with fellow MPs, enjoyed a lunch hosted by agriculture minister Narendra Tomar to mark Millet Year 2023.
The PM was present at the event for nearly 40 minutes.
Sitting alongside Modi while having the meal were Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar and other MPs in Parliament where millet dishes were served.
"As we prepare to mark 2023 as the International Year of Millets, attended a sumptuous lunch in Parliament where millet dishes were served. Good to see participation from across party lines," Modi tweeted sharing some pictures of the lunch.
Interestingly, the lunch was conducted after ruling and opposition members in Rajya Sabha earlier in the day sparred over remarks made by Kharge in Rajasthan's Alwar, with ruling party members seeking an apology from him for the "foul" comments.
At a rally in Rajasthan on Monday, Kharge claimed that while the Congress stood for the country and helped attain Independence after its leaders gave supreme sacrifices, 'not even a dog of the BJP was lost' for the country.
