The decision was approved on Sunday through a cabinet by circulation. The proposal was sent to Governor Anandiben Patel on Monday for formal approval.
According to officials, the main agenda of the special session will be to pass a resolution in support of the women’s reservation Bill and to question the stand taken by opposition parties on the issue.
