New Delhi, July 28: The move to end the boycott of Defence Minister George Fernandes has been put on the backburner for the time being even as congress was making efforts to convince the left, RJD and others that the protest action was turning counterproductive in view of "serious lapses" in security matters. "I am not (not) going to say anything in this matter. We are in the process of discussions", said a top Congress leader after party president Sonia Gandhi was briefed by her senior party colleagues on the deliberations at a meeting of opposition leaders on the issue today. The leader stated this when asked about the conflicting signals from the congress and the reservations expressed by other opposition parties like the left and RJD on ending the 18-month old boycott.
