Several opposition parties met in the Parliament House complex and decided to take on the government unitedly on the India-China border issue and are likely to issue a joint statement.

Almost all major opposition parties are seeking answers from the government on the Chinese transgressions along the border and moved adjournment notices in both houses of Parliament, demanding an urgent discussion on the issue.

Leaders of 17 opposition parties -- the Congress, RJD, DMK, CPI, CPI-M, AAP, Samajwadi Party, JDU, NCP, Shiv Sena, Kerala Congress, National Conference, AIUDF, RLD, MDMK, VCK and KCM -- met in the chamber of Mallikarjun Kharge, the leader of the opposition in Rajya Sabha, and decided to corner the government on the border issue.

The TMC was, however, not present at the meeting. It was decided to stage a walkout in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha in case the government did not agree to their demand for an urgent discussion.

Leaders of the opposition parties also staged a walkout in both houses. They also decided to issue a joint statement on the Chinese transgressions issue but sounded a word of caution that the opposition should not sound lowering the morale of the armed forces.
