NDA's 'Mangal Milan' today: NCPI invited for first time

New Delhi [India], July 28 (ANI): The BJP-led NDA Parliamentary Party's weekly 'Mangal Milan' meeting is underway on Tuesday, 28th July. For the first time, the newly formed Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) has also been invited to join the alliance meeting. The meeting will take place at 9:30 am in the GMC Balayogi Auditorium, Parliament Library Building.

The NDA's weekly 'Mangal Milan' is taking place during a stormy Monsoon Session. Exam reforms and Opposition protests over alleged police action on students are among the major issues. PM Narendra Modi will address NDA MPs at 9:30 am.
Earlier during the Mangal Milan meet, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in the meeting that the government "stands with the students" amid concerns over the NEET examination paper leak and called for strict action against those involved in the irregularities. Addressing the reporters, Rijiju said the Prime Minister made it clear that the government stands with students and that paper leaks are a matter of national concern that should not be politicised.
Earlier, during an all-party meeting, Opposition parties briefly walked out in protest against the Government's invitation to the Nationalist Congress Party of India (NCPI). (ANI)
