Rahul Gandhi Cycles To Parliament After Opposition Parties Meet Over Breakfast
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi led a meeting of opposition leaders on August 3 morning, second meeting in a week. This comes amid disruptions & protests in parliament over the Pegasus snooping row, the handling of the pandemic & farmers' agitation, among other issues. August 3 breakfast meeting was called to discuss the option of holding a \"mock parliament\" outside. Nearly a week after his surprise tractor ride to back the agitation against new farm laws, Gandhi, 51, rode a cycle to parliament to protest against the issue of fuel price hike. He was joined by several other opposition leaders. Speaking at the Constitution Club of India in the national capital, the Congress leader said, "The single most important thing in my view is that we unite this force.” Trinamool Congress's Mahua Moitra, the NCP's Supriya Sule, Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut, and the DMK's Kanimozhi were among the leaders attending the breakfast meeting as they united against the government. Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP had been invited for this meeting but it chose to stay away. Attacking the opposition, PM Modi, while attending the BJP parliamentary meeting, said, "The opposition is not letting parliament function. This is an insult to democracy and to the public.” Watch the video to know more.
