NEW DELHI: (Jul 19) INDIA bloc parties on Saturday resolved to raise during the Parliament’s Monsoon session the issues of Pahalgam attack terrorists not being brought to justice, US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims of brokering a ‘ceasefire’ during India-Pakistan hostilities and the special intensive revision of electoral rolls in Bihar that the opposition alleges “threatens people’s voting rights”.
Ahead of the Monsoon session beginning on July 21, the leaders of 24 opposition parties of the bloc held an online meeting where they decided to raise eight major issues like foreign policy “failure” and “atrocities” in Gaza, delimitation exercise and “targeting” of SCs/STs, women and minorities in the country.
Addressing the media after the meeting, the Congress’ deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha, Pramod Tiwari, said the opposition parties would expect the prime minister to be present in Parliament and respond to the issues raised on the floor of the House, asserting that “Parliament is more important than travelling abroad”.
