The two sides in the last few days have engaged in a
war of words blaming each other for the stalemate.
Vajpayee, who arrived earlier for the function, shook hands with the prime minister on his arrival to inaugurate the Lal Bahadur Shastri Memorial.
At the end of the function, they again shook hands and exchanged a few words after which Vajpayee left the venue and
the prime minister went into the memorial.
