New Delhi: According to reliable sources, the I.N.D.I.A. opposition alliance would not be present at the Thursday afternoon meeting scheduled by Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar to break the stalemate in the House over the Manipur issue.
Manipur has been rocked by months of ethnic violence, and the opposition says a statement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a thorough discussion on the situation there are non-negotiable demands.
