Rahul Gandhi Leads Opposition Breakfast Meet To Plan Parliament Offensive

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is all set to lead another meeting of opposition leaders this morning amid disruptions and protests in parliament over the Pegasus snooping row, the handling of the pandemic, farmers' agitation, among other issues. This is the second time in a week that Mr Gandhi, 51, is holding such a meeting as several opposition parties unite against the government. This morning, 18 political parties have been invited. They will discuss the option of holding a "mock parliament" outside. "All floor leaders and other MPs will join the meeting," the Congress's Mallikarjun Kharge told reporters on Monday. Union Minister Rajnath Singh had dialled up Mr Kharge, the leader of the opposition in Rajya Sabha, on Monday afternoon to seek his support amid protests, sources said.
