Parliament Monsoon Session Live Updates: The Monsoon session of Parliament is starting from Thursday i.e. 20th July, which will continue till 11th July. During this, there will be work in the House for a total of 17 days. The Center held an all-party meeting on Wednesday (July 19) before the start of the session. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi, Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal attended the meeting from the government side. Congress MPs Jairam Ramesh, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary, Aam Aadmi Party’s Sanjay Singh, Shiromani Akali Dal’s Harsimrat Kaur Badal and many other leaders participated from the opposition parties.
During the meeting, various parties including Congress, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party and Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik’s Biju Janata Dal demanded discussion on various issues related to the country.
Congress demanded the government to discuss the situation in Manipur, Odisha train accident and issues like price rise in the all-party meeting. The party said that if the government wants to run the house, it should give a chance to the opposition to present its views. Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary told news agency PTI that we have demanded in the meeting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should come to the House and discuss the situation in Manipur.
In the monsoon session of Parliament starting from July 20, opposition parties have made preparations to surround the government on various issues like the situation in Manipur and the Delhi Service Ordinance. The monsoon session is being held at a time when 26 opposition parties have formed the Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance (India) on Tuesday (July 18) to challenge the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
During this session of Parliament, the issue of Delhi National Capital Territory Government Amendment Ordinance and its related bill will come up prominently and there are chances of a dispute between the government and the opposition. The Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is opposing the ordinance on the posting and transfer of bureaucrats in Delhi, which was promulgated by the central government in May.
After participating in the all-party meeting called by the government, AAP leader Sanjay Singh told reporters, ‘‘How can the subject of constitutional amendment be passed through an ordinance? We will strongly oppose the trampling of the rights of the two crore people of Delhi and not allowing the Kejriwal government to function.’
