Delhi/Hyderabad, July 12 (Maxim News): The Central government has convened an all-party meeting on July 19, a day before the Monsoon Session of Parliament begins, to discuss the legislative agenda and ensure the smooth functioning of both Houses.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju announced that the meeting will be held at 11 a.m. on July 19. The Monsoon Session is scheduled to run from July 20 to August 13 after receiving the approval of President Droupadi Murmu.
The government is expected to brief political parties on its legislative priorities, while the Opposition is likely to press for discussions on several key national issues.
Opposition Set to Raise Key Issues
The Opposition is expected to corner the government over issues including the NEET-UG paper leak, alleged irregularities in examinations, and recent developments related to Operation Sindoor.
The Congress is also expected to raise its privilege notice against Defence Minister Rajnath Singh over his remarks concerning Operation Sindoor.
Changing Political Equations in Parliament
The upcoming session is expected to witness new political dynamics following recent realignments among political parties.
Reports indicate that several MPs have shifted allegiance in recent months, potentially altering seating arrangements and floor coordination in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
Constitution Amendment Bill Likely to Draw Attention
One of the major legislative issues expected to generate debate is the proposed 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill.
According to reports, the Bill proposes that the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, Union Ministers, and State Ministers would automatically vacate their offices if they remain in judicial custody for 30 consecutive days while facing serious criminal charges.
The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) examining the proposal is expected to finalise and submit its report before the session, paving the way for discussions in Parliament.
With an extensive legislative agenda and several contentious political issues expected to dominate proceedings, the nearly three-week Monsoon Session is likely to witness intense debates and heated exchanges between the Treasury and Opposition benches.
