The Supreme Court will hear a plea filed against the demolition of houses of protestors in UP without following due process of law.

The Opposition meeting called by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to formulate a joint strategy for the upcoming presidential polls was held at the Constitution Club of India in Delhi on Wednesday, June 15.

Following the meeting, Mamata Banerjee said, “Several parties were here today. We’ve decided we will choose only one consensus candidate. Everybody will give this candidate our support. We will consult with others. This is a good beginning. We sat together after several months, and we will do it again.”
