New Delhi: The logjam over the Pegasus snooping row in the Rajya Sabha is likely to continue as the opposition is not relenting on the government offer.
Tuesday, the government offered talks to resolve the issue and said that it is willing to discuss the issue with the opposition.

On Monday, the Opposition forced repeated adjournments in the House as it was first adjourned till 12 noon, then till 2 p.m. and then again after several adjournments for the day.
