After the meeting senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said the the 10-member opposition panel would meet again to decide on a suitable presidential nominee.
The sub-group formed for this purpose met in the chambers of Azad, who is the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha.
This is the first meeting of the sub-group since its formation a few days ago.
Sources said the leaders would discuss names, but await a government initiative in this regard.
A three-member government panel comprising senior ministers Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitley and M Venkaiah Naidu is slated to meet Congress President Sonia Gandhi on this issue tomorrow.
A united opposition, after several rounds of parleys between leaders of various parties, is hoping to zero in on a “mutually acceptable” presidential candidate with the ruling dispensation.
If that does not happen, it is expected to put up a united candidate against the official NDA nominee.
