Home Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj will brief the Opposition today at Singh's residence on the ongoing standoff with China over a road builiding in Sikkim and the security situation in Kashmir after the recent terror attack on Amarnath pilgrims. 

The meeting is primarily aimed at taking the opposition leaders into confidence over the major national issues.

The minister will explain the situation on the aggressive dispute with China to political leaders ahead of the Parliament session that begins on Monday.

The Home Minister will also provide details to the Opposition about Monday night's deadly terror attack on pilgrims on the Amarnath Yatra in which seven people were killed, along with information on the security conditions in Jammu and Kashmir, where two soldiers were killed yesterday in firing from Pakistan.

China has warned that it will not accept any dialogue till India withdraws its soldiers from what Beijing claims as its territory in Doklam. India and Bhutan say the land belongs to the tiny Himalayan kingdom.
