Opposition leaders will meet at 9:30 am on Monday and are likely to raise the demand of a joint parliamentary committee probe into the alleged selective leakage of demonetisation information to the ruling BJP.

The Congress is leading the deliberations with Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad and Deputy Leader Anand Sharma coordinating with other Opposition parties.
The sources said all outfits, including the TMC, JD(U), BSP, SP, NCP and Left parties, are on the same page on the issue and will step up their offensive in both Houses.
After the Opposition leaders' meeting, Congress will hold its own strategy meet with its MPs. Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi is expected to chair the meeting.
In the Lok Sabha, the government and the Opposition have locked horns over rules to debate demonetisation with Congress and TMC seeking a discussion under an adjournment motion, which permits voting. The government, however, agreed for a debate under Rule 193 which doesn't entail voting.
The Congress leader said the party is also planning "direct mass action" against the demonetisation move by flagging poor implementation.
