Opposition Targets Session Length And Security Issues

Opposition leaders used the meeting to press for debates on the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, the recent blast in Delhi, foreign policy developments and environmental concerns. Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi told India Today that by holding only 15 effective sittings, “it seems the government itself wants to derail Parliament,” adding that the Centre was “burying the entire parliamentary decorum”.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju urged parties to maintain restraint and said he hoped debates would proceed without disruption. He said that parliamentarians should “work with a cool head and avoid heated exchanges”.

Senior ministers Rajnath Singh, JP Nadda, Rijiju and Arjun Ram Meghwal represented the government, while leaders from the Congress, RJD, DMK, Trinamool Congress and IUML attended from the Opposition.
