An Opposition meeting has been called at 9:30 am to discuss a joint strategy before the proceedings resume, according to news agency ANI. Floor leaders of all Opposition parties in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have been invited to the meeting.

Opposition MPs will also hold a protest in front of the MK Gandhi statue after the meeting, as per the report.
