Opposition parties belonging to the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) on September 5 demanded that the Modi government spell out the agenda for the Special Session of Parliament even as the Congress decided that parliamentary party chief Sonia Gandhi will write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issues that the principal Opposition party wants to raise during the session.
The Parliamentary Strategy Group of the Congress, which met at Ms. Gandhi’s 10 Janpath residence, decided that she will ask the government to have a debate on the continuing violence in Manipur, price rise, unemployment, Chinese transgressions among others, during the five-day special session of Parliament that begins on September 18.
Ms. Gandhi’s letter will be on behalf of the 24 Opposition parties that are part of the INDIA bloc, which will take part in the special session.
