Those who attended the meeting included newly elected party leaders Tarun Chugh and Vinod Tawde and former AAP leaders Swati Maliwal, Raghav Chadha, Ashok Mittal, Sandeep Pathak and Vikramjit Singh Sahney.
The breakfast meeting during Parliament sessions has been part of the prime minister's practice for several years, providing the MPs an opportunity to directly interact with him.
Parliament proceedings have been regularly disrupted since the Monsoon session began on July 20 with both Houses transacting very little business.
