Congress leaders of the Parliamentary Strategy Group (PSG) on Thursday asked party president Sonia Gandhi to clarify on the party’s stand on Agnipath recruitment policy in the wake of the contrasting stand taken by senior leader Manish Tewari, who is also a member of the strategy group.
The hour-long meeting, presided by Ms. Gandhi, met to identify the key issues that the Opposition would raise during the upcoming Monsoon session.
Apart from regular increase in cooking gas and commodity prices, Agnipath scheme, the falling value of the Rupee, unemployment, the prevailing economic situation in the country, bank privatisation and border hostilities were among issues that figured in the discussion.
