New Delhi: The government has announced a “special session of Parliament” scheduled to convene from September 18 to 22, as revealed by Union Minister Pralhad Joshi’s post on X (formerly Twitter). Anticipation fills the air as the session, encompassing five sittings, approaches under the auspices of “Amid Amrit Kaal.” Minister Joshi expressed hope for productive discussions and debates within the Parliament’s halls.
Despite the imminent event, the government has maintained an air of secrecy around the potential subjects up for discussion. Speculation is rife that this extraordinary session might mark the commencement of the transition from the historic parliamentary building to the newly constructed one – symbolically initiating in the old and concluding in the new. Notwithstanding, insiders hint at the inclusion of Amrit Kaal festivities and India’s ascent to a ‘developed nation,’ with no clear indication of pivotal bills set for passage.
Furthermore, there is a possibility that this session may not be a joint assembly of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. The timing of the special session holds intrigue, coinciding with the third gathering of the mega opposition coalition I.N.D.I.A. in Mumbai. Comprising 28 parties, this bloc has unequivocally declared its mission to challenge the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the upcoming general elections next year.
