The photo shared in the post was taken in August 2021, when top leaders from different political parties went to meet Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla in his official chamber in Parliament. After the Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die on 11 August 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and top leaders from other parties met Om Birla in his chamber. The photo is old and does not show a secret meeting between BJP and Congress
