Apart from PM Modi, Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha Piyush Goyal, Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Mansukh Mandaviya were also present in the meeting. In a discussion with reporters before the start of the monsoon session of Parliament, the Prime Minister had said that this session should be dedicated to a meaningful discussion on all issues including Covid-19 as the public wants answers on many issues.
He said that the government is also fully prepared for this. The Prime Minister had urged the leaders of both the houses to take some time on Tuesday evening and said that he wants to give all the detailed information regarding the pandemic to them too. The Congress had already said that it would not attend the meeting of the government with the leaders of the houses of all the parties on Covid-19. Shiromani Akali Dal, an ally of the ruling BJP at the Centre, had also spoken of not attending the meeting.
