Leaders of the INDIA alliance will hold a meeting on Monday amid the ongoing Monsoon Session of the Parliament at the Leader of Opposition’s chamber. The meeting will take place at 9:30 am at Congress President and Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge’s chamber to discuss the strategy for the floor of the House, as per news agency ANI. During the meeting, Opposition leaders who went to Manipur will brief about their visit to the strife-torn state to the floor leaders of the INDIA alliance.  

The Opposition parties have been demanding a discussion on the issue of Manipur since the beginning of the Monsoon Session on July 20. Demanding a discussion and answers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Opposition parties including Congress have been creating a ruckus in both Houses of the Parliament, stalling its proceedings. 

Meanwhile, ahead of the Parliament session, Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla on Sunday said that every serious issue should be discussed but there should be no disruption in state assemblies and Parliament as people have a lot of expectations from these "temples of democracy".

Birla made the statement during his address to MLAs and MPs from northeastern states and other dignitaries at the inauguration ceremony of the new building of Assam Legislative Assembly. 

"In the temple of democracy, there should be debates, discussions, dialogue and interactions on every serious issue. But there should not be any disruption or impasse in state legislative assemblies and Lok Sabha," Birla said.

"People have a lot of expectations from the state assemblies and Lok Sabha. People send you here with lots of hopes," he said, adding that "this is my request"

An intensive debate and discussion on every issue, including Bills, in the House can bring a better outcome in the best interest of people, Birla said
