The opposition is seeking to corner the government on several issues, including price rise, unemployment and is demanding a discussion on the border security situation in the wake of “incursion” by China and the alleged misuse of agencies by the government.
“Parliament is the abode of democratic deliberation. We, the like-minded parties will strongly raise all the issues relevant to our people. PM @narendramodi ji, you spoke about opposition getting more chance to participate, therefore we expect the Govt to walk its talk,” Kharge tweeted.
#IndianArmedForcesFlagDay is a solemn occasion to express our heartfelt gratitude to our Army, Navy, and Air Force personnel for their selfless service to the nation.
We must pledge our support of our ex-servicemen, war widows and specially-abled soldiers and their families. pic.twitter.com/mLzIuSnVAi

“If laws are made in haste, then they attract judicial scrutiny. Therefore, we expect that all important Bills should be sent to Joint/Select Committees, so that they are carefully examined. We are ready to extend full cooperation in parliamentary processes and debates,” he said.
