Leaders arrive for the all-party meet to be jointly held by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Home Minister Rajnath Singh at his residence. Swaraj and Rajnath Singh will brief the opposition in the meeting on China and Jammu and Kashmir.

The meeting is primarily aimed at taking the opposition leaders into confidence on both issues ahead of the Parliament session which commences on July 17.

The standoff between India and China in the Doklam Plateau, adjoining the tri-junction between India, China and Bhutan, is now a month old, with no end to it yet in sight.

Sources said the government also wants to discuss in the meeting the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, which has witnessed a spate of violence following the killing of militant commander Burhan Wani in July last year.
