The government has not called Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena for the all-party meeting on Wednesday, lawmaker Vinayak Raut told News18, adding that the Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs will raise the issue with Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla.
The meeting has been convened to deliberate on a host of issues related to Parliament’s monsoon session, which will begin from July 20. Separate meetings of BJP leaders followed by those from the BJP-led NDA will also be held on Wednesday as the ruling bloc frames its strategy for the session.
