Parliament Monsoon Session LIVE: The first day was washed out without transacting any business as opposition MPs created ruckus over phone tapping row. The government, however, denied any involvement in the controversy.
On Tuesday as well, the opposition parties are likely to target the government over a host of issues. PM Modi will hold a meeting with floor leaders to discuss the prevailing Covid-19 situation in the country and brief them about the government's plan to bring the pandemic under control. The meeting will be addressed by Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan, alongside presentations on the pandemic and how it was managed.
Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan will address floor leaders of political parties on Covid-19 on Tuesday in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Monsoon Session LIVE: 'States Have 10-15 Lakh Vaccine Doses, Govt Have Data' Says Health Min
Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya while speaking in Rajya Sabha claimed that states have 10-15 lakh doses of vaccines and govt have data.
Our govt has always said that this crisis shouldn't become a reason for politics. There shouldn't be politics in this crisis...PM Modi has said that when 130 cr people of India take one step forward, the country can move forward by 130 cr steps.
When we speak of the third wave, the 130 crore people - the common people, all state govts - should make a collective decision that we won't let a 3rd wave hit our country. Our resolution & PM Modi's guidance can save us from a third wave.
When there's need to work together & implementation has to be done by the states, at that time we never said that this state failed or that state didn't do this. I don't want to do politics but many states have 10-15 lakh doses of vaccines with them, I have data.
