Non-BJP parties held a meeting at the chamber of Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge where it was decided that they should press for revocation of suspension of MPs.
Sources said at the meeting, the Congress was of the view that they should participate in discussion on price rise as it is directly linked to people but the DMK, the RJD and others were of the view that suspension of MPs is important for it violated all rules and procedures.
The 12 MPs continue to sit in front of the Gandhi statue in Parliament to protest their suspension but the Centre insists that either they should apologise or Kharge condemn their act inside the House.
While Kharge said that it was shameful that the MPs have been suspended, Leader of the House Piyush Goyal said that the Opposition was running away from discussion and was disrupting the house.
