BJP and RSS leaders met on Monday to discuss the controversy over forced conversions by some Sangh Parivar outfits that has paralysed Parliament.
The meeting was attended by BJP President Amit Shah and RSS second-in-command Bhayyaji Joshi besides Union Ministers Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj.
The Winter session of Parliament ends tomorrow.
Party sources said the leaders discussed the current political situation and issues of governance at a time when the opposition attacked the government and BJP over forced conversions.
The discussions are being held when right wing Hindu outfits are pushing for conversions with their top leaders terming them as "Ghar Vapsi" (homecomings).
Party leaders remained mum about the discussions that took place in the meeting while BJP sources said it was a periodic review meeting where leaders of BJP, RSS and government sit together to discuss the political situation to ensure smooth coordination with the party.
At the meeting, the RSS and the BJP were reported to have stressed on the need for a campaign for an anti-conversion law. The Government and the BJP have expressed their readiness to have such a law but put the onus on the opposition to give its support for this measure.
Among others present at the meeting included BJP general secretaries Ram Lal and Ram Madhav, both of whom have been closely associated with the RSS and seior Sangh leader Bajrang Lal Gupta.
