00:00Parliament, the Congress Lok Sabha MPs are going to have a meeting at about 9.30 a.m.
00:04It will be addressed by the LOP Rahul Gandhi, but I believe that's tomorrow. So we'll be tracking all the latest on that
00:11That the meeting by Congress Lok Sabha MPs at 9.30 a.m
00:16Will be addressed by LOP. Amit Bhardwaj
00:19Joins me for the latest on that. Amit go ahead
00:21Leader of opposition wants to strategize ahead because the government also is prepared and I believe this should be on the work issue
00:30All
00:33Right Pooja, you know, we know for a matter of fact that the biggest bill that's
00:37Getting everyone's attention is the WAAQF amendment bill the amendments that the government wants to bring in the WAAQF
00:44Bill and it is certainly being opposed by certain Muslim groups and the India Alliance parties are also
00:51by and large in opposition to the amendments that are being brought in the WAAQF amendment bill and
00:56The Congress Party being the principal opposition party is certainly, you know in opposition to what's
01:02The amendments that are being proposed by the government
01:05So what we are given to understand that Rahul Gandhi will be meeting the Congress Party MPs in the Parliament the next day and he will
01:12Be also addressing the Parliamentary
01:15You know party the MPs from possibly both houses
01:19So this could be very much on the lines as to how to strategize what should be the Congress Party's
01:24Strategy on the WAAQF amendment bill along with other issues as far as the floor management is concerned
01:31So we'll also have to see as to whether you know
01:34By the time this meeting is convened whether the other India bloc MPs or their
01:39Representational leaders are also called for the meeting or there will be a separate meeting of the India Alliance
01:45MPs together to strategize a flow strategy because we had seen, you know ever since 2024 elections
01:51Lok Sabha elections have been over in every, you know
01:56Parliamentary session whenever there is an important bill or a strategy to corner the government
02:01We have seen the India bloc leaders coming together and strategizing it for the Lok Sabha as well as the Rajya Sabha
02:07So certainly Rahul Gandhi will be meeting the Congress Party MPs and he will be addressing
02:12The leader of opposition will be addressing these MPs are possibly
02:15This is very interesting because Amit as you're telling us we are putting the numbers also below on our screens for the viewer
02:22Of course, remember the NDA has the majority
02:25but even then it can be neck-and-neck and
02:27Eventually, it will be about the strategies by both parties to convince as much the public about which way should the WAAQF amendment bill go
02:34Thank you very much Amit for now. We'll be tracking all that and more coming in from the Parliament
