He has been one of the pioneers to come out openly and support our cause of opposing this bill. Therefore we’ll be meeting other political parties. And we hope we’ll be getting a positive response. We’ll also be meeting the Prime Minister also. We’ll continue to meet other political parties to take this issue”.

But we’ll see in all probability if it comes or doesn’t, we’ll continue to reach out to the political parties,” he added.
