The decision was made after a meeting of opposition parties this morning.

Earlier in the day, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge had accused the government of trying to divide the Opposition by calling only a few parties to resolve the ongoing impasse over the suspension of 12 MPs.
