Govt Convenes All-Party Meeting Ahead Of Monsoon Session
Centre calls meeting on July 19, opposition to raise key issues
The government has convened an all-party meeting on July 19, a day before the commencement of the Monsoon Session of Parliament. The meeting, scheduled to begin at 11 am, will provide a platform for the government to outline its legislative agenda for the upcoming session.
The Monsoon Session of Parliament is set to commence on July 20 and will continue until August 13. During this period, the government is expected to introduce and discuss several key Bills. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju had earlier announced the dates for the Monsoon Session.
The opposition parties are likely to raise several key issues during the session, including the NEET-UG paper leak case and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's remarks on casualties during Operation Sindoor. The Congress has already moved a breach of privilege notice against the Defence Minister over his comments.
The upcoming session is also expected to witness heated exchanges amid recent political realignments across several opposition parties. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has witnessed significant turmoil following its defeat in the Assembly elections, with 20 of its MPs merging with the National Citizens Party of India. Additionally, three TMC Rajya Sabha MPs resigned from the Upper House before joining the BJP.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) has also suffered a setback, with six of its Lok Sabha MPs joining the Shiv Sena led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Earlier, seven AAP Rajya Sabha MPs had also joined the BJP.
Ahead of the Monsoon Session, the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) examining the proposed 130th Constitution Amendment Bill is expected to adopt its report on July 17. The report is likely to be one of the significant documents tabled during the session. The proposed Bill has triggered political debate over a provision that seeks the automatic removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, and Union or State ministers from office if they remain in judicial custody for 30 consecutive days in cases involving serious offences.
The Monsoon Session of Parliament is expected to be a crucial one, with several key issues set to dominate the agenda. The government's legislative agenda, combined with the opposition's plans to raise key issues, is likely to lead to heated debates and discussions in both Houses.
The all-party meeting on July 19 will provide an opportunity for the government and opposition parties to discuss their agendas and expectations for the upcoming session. The meeting is a customary one, held before every Parliament session, and is expected to set the tone for the Monsoon Session.
The Monsoon Session of Parliament will be closely watched, as it is expected to be a significant one. The government's ability to push its legislative agenda, combined with the opposition's plans to raise key issues, will be crucial in determining the outcome of the session.
In conclusion, the Monsoon Session of Parliament is set to be a crucial one, with several key issues set to dominate the agenda. The government's legislative agenda, combined with the opposition's plans to raise key issues, is likely to lead to heated debates and discussions in both Houses. The outcome of the session will be closely watched, and its impact will be felt across the country.
