New Delhi, May 7
Even as bitterness over continuing boycott of Parliament by the NDA was in the air, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his immediate predecessor Atal Bihari Vajpayee today did not allow it to prevail on them as they briefly interacted at a public function.

Though it was not immediately known what they discussed and whether the ongoing impasse in Parliament figured or not but their body language did not betray any bitterness when they shook hands at the inauguration of Lal Bahadur Shastri Memorial.

The Prime Minister has written a letter to Mr Vajpayee to break the impasse between the ruling UPA and the NDA but political warfare between the two alliance has been continuing.

Mr Vajpayee, who came to the function earlier, first shook hand with Dr Manmohan Singh on his arrival to inaugurate the memorial in the Capital.
