Ahead of Parliament's Monsoon Session, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has invited a group of rebel Trinamool Congress Lok Sabha MPs to an all-party meeting in New Delhi. The outreach includes Sudip Bandyopadhyay and 19 other MPs, according to the report.
The meeting is scheduled for Sunday, July 19, just before the Monsoon Session begins on July 20. The session is set to continue until August 13, making the pre-session discussions politically important as parties prepare their strategies and key issues.
Rijiju's invitation has drawn attention because it involves MPs identified as rebel voices within the Trinamool Congress. The move comes at a time when floor coordination and attendance at pre-session consultations can shape the tone of the upcoming sitting of Parliament.
With the Monsoon Session approaching, the focus is now on how parties position themselves at the all-party meeting and during the weeks ahead in both Houses. The invitation to the rebel TMC MPs adds another layer of interest to the political developments surrounding the start of the session.
