The Opposition would seek to corner the government for its "attempts to destabilise" states ruled by it and the Kashmir unrest in Parliament, but also offer "merit-based" support to measures like the GST Bill which Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said was of "national importance".
At an all-party meeting here a day ahead of the Monsoon Session from Monday, leaders of several opposition parties spoke of developments in
Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand signalling their intent to train guns on the government, with Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad saying the states no longer trusted the BJP-led government at the Centre.
Modi, who joined the meeting later, thanked all parties for "speaking in one voice" on the developments in Kashmir and sought their support in the passage of the GST Bill, saying it was of "national importance" and urging them to keep national interests above everything else, sources said.
Addressing the meeting, Modi said important bills, including the GST, are to be taken up during the session and expressed the hope that there would be meaningful discussions and outcomes, officials said.
"Referring to introduction of GST, the Prime Minister noted that the issue was not about which government would get the credit for this, but what is important is the passage of the bill," they said.
