New Delhi, Nov 27 (IBNS) Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Friday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has invited his predecessor Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi for a discussion to end the standoff on Goods and Services Tax due to 'public pressure'.

" The Prime Minister has invited Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh only due to public pressure," Rahul Gandhi told reporters.

Modi has invited his predecessor  Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi for a discussion to  and end the standoff on Goods and Services Tax, the government's most cherished tax reform.

This is the first time that the prime minister has invited the main leaders of the opposition to break the stalemate.

The government is keen on pushing through the bill despite the stiff opposition from the Congress and other opposition parties. Talks between the two sides have so far yielded no results.

The   Congress has repeatedly accused the government of failing to bring the opposition on board.
