Unlike Wednesday, BJP veteran L K Advani did not occupy the seat next to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.

Instead, he was occupying the front row seat along with senior Union ministers Sushma Swaraj, Rajnath Singh and Ram Vilas Paswan.

In fact, Mr. Advani was seen apparently telling Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu that he be allowed to sit in the second row but was requested to take the front row seat.

The House also witnessed Rahul Gandhi having a lengthy chat with Supriya Sule of NCP on one of the back benches on the opposition side.
