Only Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury of Congress and TR Balu from DMK from Opposition attended the meeting held at Parliament premises in the evening.
“Have demanded discussion on Centre’s short-term recruitment scheme for the Armed Forces, Agnipath scheme, unemployment, farmers' issues,” said Congress’s Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury after attending the meeting.
“Sufficient time should be given to the Opposition in the House to raise issues,” Chowdhury said.
