New Delhi, 12 August 2021

As per news report of NDTV, Besides the Chief Ministers of Bengal and Maharashtra, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren have also been invited to the virtual meeting on August 20. The online interaction will likely set the stage for another lunch or dinner meet the Congress is planning in Delhi. Over 15 opposition parties put up a united front in parliament in the monsoon session, which barely functioned because of disruptions and protests over issues like the Pegasus snooping scandal, the rising fuel prices and the farmers' agitation over three central laws. Opposition parties marched this morning to protest against what they call the government's bullying. A meeting at Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge's room in parliament saw even Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)'s Sanjay Singh joining in.
