An informal alliance of political leaders and former members of Parliament is set to meet at NCP chief Sharad Pawar's official residence in New Delhi at 4 pm on Tuesday. The alliance, also known as the National Forum, comprises leaders from more than a dozen opposition parties in addition to prominent artists and economists.

According to sources, the meeting on Tuesday will be attended by AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, NCP MP Vandana Chavan, former J K chief minister Farooq Abdullah, CPI leader D Raja, Samajwadi Party spokesperson Ghanshyam Tiwari and former JD(U) leader Pavan Verma.
