The Central government on Friday called an all party meet for a briefing on the India- China standoff in Doklam in Sikkim sector, and the situation of Kashmir situation in the wake of killing of seven Amarnath pilgrims.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Home Minister Rajnath Singh will brief the opposition about the events at the border and the steps taken by the government so far.

The meeting will take place between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. at Rajnath Singh's residence in the capital.

The standoff between India and China in the Doklam Plateau, adjoining the tri-junction between India, China and Bhutan, is now a month old.

Where Sushma Swaraj will discuss and apprise the political class about the situation on the aggressive dispute with China, the Singh and Minister of Defence Arun Jaitley will brief the opposition about the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, where two soldiers were killed on Wednesday in firing from Pakistan.

The Home Minister will also provide details to the political parties about Monday night's deadly terror attack on Amarnath pilgrims in which seven people were killed.

The decision to convene the meeting was taken to ensure that the sensitive issue is discussed before the monsoon session of Parliament, that begins on Monday.
