On the eve of a special three-day sitting of Parliament, top opposition leaders on Wednesday met at the residence of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to discuss and evolve a joint strategy on the women’s quota law.

Several opposition parties are opposed to the linking of the women’s reservation law with a delimitation exercise and an increase in seats in several state Assemblies as per the 2011 Census. Leaders of the Congress, DMK, Trinamool Congress, Samajwadi Party, RJD, CPI, and CPI-M were present at the meeting at Kharge’s residence.
