Cong MP refuses to attend Lokpal meet as 'special invitee'
Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge has rejected Prime Minister Narendra Modi's invitation to attend the meeting on the appointment of a Lokpal as a 'special invitee'. Kharge called the special invitee invitation a "concerted effort to exclude the independent voice of the opposition altogether from the selection process of the most important anti-corruption watchdog."
