Earlier, the news agency in a report on Wednesday stated that Opposition parties are taking turns to arrange regional cuisine for MPs on a 50-hour relay protest against their suspension and demanding discussion on price rise.

The roster is being circulated on a dedicated WhatsApp group, keeping everyone in the loop about the day's arrangements.

The MPs are holding the protest near the Gandhi statue and will stay at the site through the night, said the Trinamool Congress' (TMC) Dola Sen, who is one of the suspended.

On Wednesday, the MPs had idli-sambhar for breakfast which was organised by DMK MP Tiruchi Siva. The lunch of curd rice was also arranged by the DMK. The menu for dinner is roti, daal, paneer and chicken tandoori, courtesy of the TMC.

DMK's Kanimozhi, who was instrumental in planning the roster, came to the protest site carrying 'gajar ka halwa', while TMC arranged for fruits and sandwiches.
