Ahead of the opposition meet in Bengaluru, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has called for party's Political affairs committee (PAC) meet on Sunday. With the Congress setting the stage for AAP's participation in the meet, now its up to party chief Arvind Kejriwal and others to decide.
Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann will also join the PAC meeting through video conferencing.
The decision to participate in Bengaluru's opposition meeting is likely to be taken after the meeting, reported ANI.
The party will also discuss its strategy for the upcoming Monsoon session of the parliament.
Earlier, AAP had made it clear that they will not be engaging in any conversations on opposition unity till Congress makes its stand clear on the Delhi ordinance by the central government.
However, the Congress during the Parliamentary Strategy Group meeting decided to back AAP in its fight against Delhi ordinance.
Congress on Saturday said that they have always fought against the Modi government's "assaults" on the constitutional rights and and will oppose such attempts to hamper the democratic ways in both inside and outside Parliament.
The Congress Parliamentary Strategy Group meeting was chaired by parliamentary party chief Sonia Gandhi.
AAP had issued a statement saying "Congress's refusal to act as a team player will make it very difficult for the AAP to be a part of any alliance that includes the Congress."
Meanwhile, 24 political parties including TMC, RJD, TMC and Shiv Sena (UBT) and Samajwadi Party is expected to take part in the opposition meet in Karnataka's Bengaluru beginning on Monday.
Decisions to fight unitedly against BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections was taken in the first opposition meet that was held in Patna last month.
"The (June 23) meeting was a great success as we were able to discuss various imnportant issues that threaten our democratic polity and came to a unanimous agreement on unitedly fighting the next General Elections," said Kharge in his letter as he invited the leaders of the top opposition parties.
"I believe that it is important to continue these discussions and build on the momentum that we have created. We need to work together to find solutions to the challenges that our country is facing," the Congress President added.
The controversial Delhi ordinance by central government on May 19 promulgated the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Ordinance, 2023, to create an authority for transfer and posting of Group-A officers in Delhi.
The AAP government has termed it as a "deception" with the Supreme Court verdict on control of services.
