"It has been decided that he will address the rally and might also lead a march to Parliament with other senior party leaders. The finer details are still being worked out," a party spokesman said today.
In a resolution passed by the party's National Council on March 28, the party had decided to hold a march against the Bill and had formed a committee in this regard.

The Union government has decided to recommend re-promulgation of the land acquisition ordinance incorporating nine amendments that were part of the Bill that was passed in Lok Sabha last month.
The pending legislation, entitled the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Amendment) Bill, seeks to replace the ordinance that was promulgated in December.
The Ordinance should have been cleared by Parliament before April 5 if it was to subsist. But the government hit a hurdle in Rajya Sabha, where it could not get the Bill cleared for replacing the Ordinance.
