Home Minister Amit Shah and several of his colleagues - including Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi and I&B Minister Anurag Thakur - met Thursday to finalise the government's strategy ahead of Parliament's winter session, which begins next week.
The meeting was held at Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's home, and included discussions on (what will certainly be an explosive) the withdrawal of the three controversial farm laws.
Parliament's winter session begins Monday, with a bill to scrap the farm laws among 26 listed for passing. Others include the contentious cryptocurrency bill and another to reduce the government's stake in public sector banks from a majority of 51 per cent to just 26 per cent.
The bill to scrap the farm laws - which were passed in last year's monsoon session and have been the subject of fierce protests since - was cleared by the Union Cabinet this week, and will be closely scrutinised by an opposition set on interrogating the government every step of the way.
