Addressing reporters after the meeting, Congress Lok Sabha member Gaurav Gogoi said: “Today at residence of Kharge ji, INDIA alliance RS and LS MPs participated in an important meeting. It was the question of all MPs that on what subject or agenda of the Special Session that has been called for five days.”

“Our demand is that the BJP should tell the agenda of the session,” Gogoi said.
He said that the INDIA MPs have decided that they want a positive session to solve the issues of people and country and will cooperate in that.
“When the point of taking India forward, we will always stand by it. Everyone in the meeting accepted that because of INDIA, BJP is panicked due to unity of opposition,” Gogoi added.
