The government has called an all-party meeting on Sunday ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Rajya Sabha Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu will also be meeting the floor leaders of the respective Houses. The Opposition parties, hit by the dwindling support for their presidential candidate Yashwant Sinha, have decided to regroup and are likely to have a strategy meet on Sunday.
According to sources, Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge has telephoned several opposition leaders calling for a meeting on Sunday immediately after the government’s all-party meeting. The recently announced military recruitment scheme Agnipath will be the front and centre of the Opposition’s attack on the government. The Opposition has consistently asked the government to roll back the scheme.
