All-party meeting ahead of Monsoon Session

The Opposition parties on Sunday staged a "walkout" from the all-party meeting convened by the government ahead of the Monsoon Session over Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju extending an invitation to the National Citizens Party of India to take part in the meeting.

The Opposition leaders later rejoined the meeting, describing their walkout as a symbolic protest.

"Today, the entire opposition including Congress, the Samajwadi Party, DMK, JMM, Aam Aadmi Party, National Conference, Left parties, Shiv Sena UBT have all walked out of the all party meeting in protest because the so-called NCPI, which is an unrecognized party, the strength of the All India Trinamool Congress in the list provided by the table office is shown to be 28 members," talking to reporters, TMC leader Mahua Moitra said.

"These so-called rebel 20 MPs, their merger has not been approved by the Speaker. The 20 disqualification petitions are still pending," the TMC MP added.

The opposition members staged a walkout soon after the all-party meeting began.
