These parties include Congress, DMK, CPI(M), JD(S), AITC among others.

In the letter addressed to the President, these parties wrote, “We, belonging to diverse political parties cutting across India's political and geographical spectrum, bring this representation to you to respectfully draw your urgent attention to the absolute and total murder of democracy, ironically in the most hallowed temple of democracy, parliament.”

“We pray that you return the bills and do not append your signature. We pray that you exert all powers, constitutional and moral, to ensure such a black law does not become law...”
