In a rare sign of solidarity, leaders of at least 18 opposition parties met at the residence of Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge in the national capital on Monday and alleged that the BJP-led government is destroying democracy.
Representatives of the DMK, NCP, JD(U), BRS, CPI(M), AAP, RJD including the Trinamool Congress among others attended the meet but the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) skipped the meeting in protest of Gandhi's remarks against Veer Savarkar.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the leaders resolved to fight against the BJP unitedly.
"Tonight floor leaders of 18 Opposition parties met at the residence of @kharge ji and with one voice decided to continue with their campaign against the Modi regime that is destroying democracy and that has subverted all institutions," Ramesh wrote on Twitter.
