Parliament LIVE: PM Modi chairs BJP's parliamentary party meeting as Opposition ups ante over Pegasus issue

The Monsoon Session of the Parliament began on a stormy note on Monday with the opposition creating a ruckus and preventing Prime Minister Narendra Modi from introducing his newly-inducted Union Ministers. The first day was washed out without transacting any business as opposition MPs created ruckus over phone tapping row. The government, however, denied any involvement in the controversy. On Tuesday as well, the opposition parties are likely to target the government over a host of issues. PM Modi has called the Floor leaders of the opposition parties for a meeting today to discuss the prevailing Covid-19 situation in the country. He will brief them about the government's plan to bring the pandemic under control. The meeting will be addressed by Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan, alongside presentations on the pandemic and how it was managed.
