Opposition Meeting Ahead of Monsoon Session Highlights Party Differences and Security Changes
Ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge called a meeting on July 20 to discuss Opposition strategies. However, recent Assembly election outcomes in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala have raised doubts about unity among Opposition parties, with some leaders preferring the gathering be termed an 'Opposition meeting' rather than an 'INDIA bloc' meeting. Separately, the Lok Sabha Secretariat reverted pass-issuing duties from the Central Industrial Security Force to the Parliament Security Service due to former MPs' complaints, while CISF continues to handle overall Parliament security.
