NEW DELHI: Ahead of Parliament’s Monsoon session, several Union ministers, including Rajnath Singh , Amit Shah, J P Nadda and Kiren Rijiju, on Friday strategised over the BJP-led govt’s stand on germane issues amid the opposition raising the heat on matters such as the revision of Bihar’s electoral rolls, Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor .
The strategy session of the group of ministers at defence minister Singh’s residence also comes ahead of the customary all-party meeting scheduled on Sunday. Though there was no official comment on the agenda of the Friday meeting, sources said it was related to the Parliament session. Union ministers Piyush Goyal and G Kishan Reddy were among those present at the strategy meeting. Singh is likely to chair the all-party meeting.
Opposition parties have also been pushing the govt to bring a bill in Parliament on restoring statehood to J&K. On the special intensive revision (SIR) of rolls in Bihar, they have claimed that it is aimed at benefiting BJP. They have also seized on US President Donald Trump's claim of mediating the “ceasefire” between India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor to attack the Modi govt. BJP and its Bihar allies have backed the SIR in the poll-bound state, asserting that it is aimed at ensuring that only eligible people are allowed to vote in the assembly polls and take welfare benefits.
Congress seeks 2 days to discuss Pahalgam
Ahead of the opposition’s meeting to chart the course for the coming monsoon session of Parliament, Congress said govt must allocate two days to discuss in Parliament the Pahalgam terror attack and subsequent events.
The INDIA bloc will meet online on Saturday, while the Parliament session will get underway from Monday. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the Pahalgam terror attack issue is serious as the terrorists have not been arrested yet, while the claims of US President Donald Trump about the IndiaPakistan “ceasefire” have added a new dimension to the cessation of Operation Sindoor.
He said the revelations by three top defence officials including the chief of defence staff and the remarks of Lt General Rahul Singh about China’s role, have made the subject “very significant”. Ramesh said PM Modi should make a statement on all the issues which will be raised in the Parliament session. The INDIA bloc will meet online on Saturday, while the Parliament session will get underway from Monday.
