In all-party meet, govt agrees to discuss all issues raised by Oppn

- RAJESH KUMAR THAKUR @ New Delhi

AMID persistent demand by the Opposition for debates on multiple pressing issues in the upcoming Monsoon session of Parliament, the BJP-led government on Sunday signaled its willingness to engage in discussions—particularly on the success of Operation Sindoor—provided all opposition party leaders adhere to Parliamentary traditions.

The government dropped the hint during an all-party meeting, chaired by Union Minister J P Nadda, a day before the start of the Monsoon session. As many as 54 leaders of different parties and independent MPs attended the meet on Sunday.

The Opposition demanded a statement from the PM on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls currently underway in poll-bound Bihar. There was also a strong call from the Opposition for a clarification from the government on the alleged US mediation during Operation Sindoor resulting in a ceasefire.
