The government has announced that the monsoon session of Parliament will be held from 21st July to 12th August. Various bills will be addressed and several issues will be discussed during this period.
The government has dismissed the opposition’s demand for a special session, stating that every session is special and every issue is important. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju emphasised that multiple matters can be discussed under various rules in both houses of Parliament. He assured that the government is open to discussing the issues raised by the opposition, including Operation Sindoor.
“For us, every session is special and every issue is special. There are various rules under which multiple matters can be discussed in both houses of Parliament," Rijiju told CNN-News18.
Government sources have indicated that Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will address the discussion on Operation Sindoor in both houses of Parliament.
Opposition parties, particularly the Congress and TMC, have been urging the Modi government to hold a special session to discuss Operation Sindoor. However, government sources argued that since the operation is ongoing and not yet concluded, it would not be appropriate to hold a special session at this time. They believe that any public disagreement among political parties on this matter would benefit Pakistan.
Recently, over 100 opposition MPs signed a letter to Prime Minister Modi requesting a special session.
The government has also ruled out the possibility of a special session to mark the 50th anniversary of the Emergency on 25th June. This clarification came after Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh from the Congress party suggested on X that the government was planning a two-day special session on the Emergency. Rijiju confirmed that the government has not considered this idea.
During the upcoming session, several bills will be up for passage, including those pending from previous sessions. The government may introduce a bill to redefine the sports code in the country. The income tax bill, which was referred to the select committee for review, may also be brought up for passage, depending on when the committee submits its report.
