The Aam Aadmi Party leaders will not attend the second meeting of the Opposition parties scheduled for July 17 and 18, Indian Express said quoting party sources.

The development comes after the first meeting held in Patna did not end on a note the way AAP had hoped for, as its leaders engaged in a heated argument with the Congress over the Delhi Ordinance issue. 

An internal discord erupted between AAP and Congress after the latter did not extend support to Aam Aadmi Party for its fight against the Centre on Delhi Ordinance. 

Quoting a senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Indian Express said, Congress had promised to clear its stand on the issue after the first meeting in Patna, however, it is yet to make a decision. 

Notably, leaders of 24 opposition parties have been invited for the second unity meeting being convened by the Congress next week in Bengaluru, which would see them further strategise plans to take on the BJP in the next Lok Sabha polls.

Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi is also expected to attend a dinner on July 17 where leaders of these parties will be present.
