AAP’s Raghav Chaddha on Bengaluru oppn meet: ‘Will inform whatever decision is taken in the Political Affairs Committee meeting’

New Delhi [India], July 16 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party leader Raghav Chaddha on Sunday said that the decision on whether the party would attend the second opposition meeting in Bengaluru would be announced after its Political Affairs Committee meeting.
"I have put my point through tweet. Whatever decision will be taken in the PAC meeting, you will be informed," he told ANI, when asked on AAP's decision on joining the opposition meeting in Bengaluru, scheduled to be held on July 17-18.
AAP has called a meeting of its Political Affairs Committee (PAC) in the national capital on Sunday to decide whether to participate in the second opposition meeting.
Notably, it is expected that AAP will attend the meeting as the Congress broke its silence and openly declared that they will oppose the Centre's Ordinance in the upcoming Monsoon session of Parliament, which begins on July 20.
Earlier in the day, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chaddha labelled the grand old party's clear stance on the Ordinance issue as a "positive development".
Taking to Twitter, Chaddha said, "Congress announces its unequivocal opposition to the Delhi Ordinance. This is a positive development."
The meet in Bengaluru is scheduled with the purpose of uniting the opposition to take on the Bharatiya Janata Party in the upcoming general assembly polls in 2024.
Top leaders of at least 24 political parties would attend the second Opposition unity meeting being convened by Congress in Karnataka's Bengaluru from July 17 to 18.
According to sources, eight new parties have extended their support to the Opposition parties' efforts to present a united front against the BJP ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Earlier on Saturday, Congress communications department head, Jairam Ramesh indicated to oppose the Bill on Centre's Ordinance in the upcoming Monsoon session of Parliament, which begins on July 20.
Jairam Ramesh said that the country's federal structure is under attack and "we will seek a debate on this in the upcoming session of Parliament."
"We have 5-6 big issues on which we would definitely seek a debate in both the houses of Parliament...including the attack on the federal structure," he said.
"The issue of attack on (country's) federal structure is being done directly by the Central government itself. There are some examples where this attack is happening on behalf of the persons appointed by them (Centre). This is a direct attack on the elected government," Jairam Ramesh said, adding that the Congress has always been fighting against it, and will continue to fight, inside or outside the Parliament.
