A similar all-party meeting called on Tuesday by Rajya Sabha Chairperson Jagdeep Dhankhar has been deferred due to the non-availability of leaders of many parties. While Opposition parties are holding a meeting in Bengaluru, the ruling National Democratic Alliance is meeting in the national capital.

The Parliament session is scheduled to start on July 20. The session is expected to be stormy as Opposition parties were trying to corner the government over the Manipur crisis besides the issues of price rise and alleged misuse of probe agencies.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held a meeting with some of his Cabinet colleagues. Commerce Piyush Goyal, Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi attended the meeting.
