Govt calls all-party meeting ahead of Parliament Session

New Delhi, July 16 (IBNS): The government has called an all-party meeting on Sunday morning at 11 am, a day ahead of the Monsoon Session of the Parliament begins.


The session will be challenging for the NDA government who will have to face the united opposition on host of issues including the Goods and Services Tax (GST), introduced recently.

At the all party meeting, the government is likely to seek opposition's support for smooth functioning of the upcoming Parliament Session.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to attend the meeting on Sunday, reports said.

However, the Trinamool Congress Party, headed by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, has reportedly decided to skip the meeting.

The TMC has been locking horns with the BJP in Bengal over the recent incidents of communal violence that shook the state's Basirhat area.

According to reports, 18 opposition parties reached a "broad agreement" to confront the Centre in the Parliament on five or six issues including the impact of GST.

Meanwhile, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan has also called an all party meeting in the evening.

The Trinamool Congress is reportedly attending that meeting.

In this Monsoon Session of Parliament, at least 16 bills are listed for introduction in both houses.
