Opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A.) bloc will meet on September 5 to discuss their joint strategy for the upcoming special session of Parliament, the agenda for which is still under wraps.

Sources said MPs of the opposition alliance in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will meet to chalk out their joint strategy for the session from September 18 to 22.

The meeting has been convened by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge at his Rajaji Marg residence here, they added.

Congress General Secretary, Organisation, K C Venugopal said Kharge has called a meeting of the Congress Parliamentary Strategy group on September 5.

“Kharge ji has also called a meeting of MPs of like-minded opposition parties,” he told reporters, adding that the agenda for the upcoming session would be discussed in the meeting.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi met Kharge at the latter’s residence to discuss organisational issues and the current political situation.

The opposition I.N.D.I.A. alliance is working in cohesion with each other and is planning to take on the BJP unitedly on various fronts as well as the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. It functioned in unison during the recent Monsoon session of Parliament too.
