Congress on Tuesday discussed its strategy for winter session of Parliament starting on Wednesday, where it is likely to forcefully take on the government on implementation of demonetisation and other issues. Sources said during the meeting chaired by the Congress president Sonia Gandhi, top party leaders were of the view that implementation of demonetisation move along with its alleged leakage to BJP should be questioned in both houses of Parliament.

JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav gives notice for suspension of all listed business in Rajya Sabha to discuss "unplanned demonetisation of 500/1000 notes".

Parliamentary affairs minister Ananth Kumar has convened an all-party meeting on Tuesday.

The Congress and Trinamool Congress have given notices for suspension of business in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on the opening day of the winter session to discuss demonetisation. The session is slated to conclude on December 16.

The government is likely to push its legislative agenda, that includes passage of pending legislations for rollout of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the surrogacy regulation bill.

The winter session of Parliament, starting on November 16, is likely to see a united opposition confront the Narendra Modi government over the problems faced by people following the move to demonetise Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes, with issues concerning farmers and one rank one pension (OROP) also likely to be taken up.
