All-party meeting ahead of Monsoon Session; parliamentary agenda to be discussed

PTI, July 18, 2026, New Delhi : The forcible removal of activist Sonam Wangchuk from Jantar Mantar, citing health concerns, is set to resonate during the all-party meeting convened by the government on Sunday ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament.

This meeting, which will involve the floor leaders of all major parties, will discuss several pressing issues, including the alleged embezzlement of donations for the Ram temple in Ayodhya.

Wangchuk’s removal from the protest site at Jantar Mantar in central Delhi by the city police will dominate the customary meet.

The alleged mishandling of donations at the Ram temple will also play a significant role in the proceedings. The Samajwadi Party has announced that it will obstruct House proceedings regarding this matter.
