Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh has summoned leaders of the six Janata Parivar outfits to Delhi on April 14 ahead of a formal meeting to announce their merger and the formation of a new party that he will head, sources told The Hindu .
This will add ballast to the opposition to the controversial NDA government-sponsored amendments to the 2013 Land Acquisition Act.
Resistance to the proposed changes will gain momentum over the next two weeks ahead of the second half of the budget Session of Parliament; the Lok Sabha will convene on April 20 while Rajya Sabha sessions will begin on April 23.
The parties rallying against the amendments will include not just the Congress, but also the six Janata Parivar parties.
