A meeting of several major opposition parties is underway to talk strategy in taking on the central government over the Pegasus phone-hacking scandal, which has dominated headlines and forced repeated adjournments in the monsoon session of parliament. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi is part of the meeting, as are other leaders from his party and from the Shiv Sena, the CPI and CPM, the Rashtriya Janata Dal, the Aam Aadmi Party and Tamil Nadu's DMK. The Congress' Maharashtra ally, the Nationalist Congress Party, the National Conference and the Muslim League are also part of the meeting, which comes a day after Prime Minister Modi slammed the Congress for "not letting parliament run".
