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
