Khajuria urged the speaker that since it was an urgent and important matter, it should be taken up on a priority basis and action initiated against Abdullah as the term of the 16th Lok Sabha was nearing completion.

Former prime minister Manmohan Singh and family members of Vajpayee also offered flowers at the lotus-shaped memorial.
Mahajan's remarks came after a Croatian delegation led by Deputy Prime Minister Marija Pejcinovic Buric met her in the Parliament House.
