Pm Modi Holds Meeting With Top Ministers To Discuss Forthcoming Session

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a key meeting with senior ministers including Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday to chalk out the strategy for the ongoing Winter Session of the Parliament. The meeting held in the Parliament premises was also attended by Union ministers Pralhad Joshi and Piyush Goyal.

The meeting was held to discuss various issues relating to the government’s strategy for the final week of the Winter Session this year.

After a chaotic week marred by continuous protests by opposition parties, the Parliament resumed the final week of the session on Monday. Until Friday, there was a growing demand in Lok Sabha for the resignation of Union Minister of State for Home, Ajay Misra, whose son Ashish is a prime accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case.

Opposition parties have decided not to attend meetings called by the government to end the deadlock in the Rajya Sabha in the ongoing winter session of Parliament.

The decision was made after a meeting of opposition parties this morning.

“We will not attend the meeting called by the Government. We will demand the resignation of MoS Home Ajay Kumar Misra and revocation of suspension of 12 Opposition MPs in Rajya Sabha. We will not let both Houses of Parliament function,” Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said.

Meanwhile, the Central government has also called a meeting of five political parties today whose MPs have been suspended from the Rajya Sabha to break the deadlock between the government and the Opposition in the House.

12 Rajya Sabha MPs were suspended from the House on the first day of the Winter session of Parliament from 5 Political Parties including Congress, TMC, Shivsena, CPI, CPI(M). After the suspension, all 12 MPs have been sitting on Dharna daily basis in front of the Gandhi statue in Parliament.

Rajya Sabha was adjourned several times due to the ruckus in the Upper House by the Opposition parties demanding to revoke the suspension of MPs in the ongoing winter session of Parliament.

The winter session of Parliament is scheduled to culminate on 23 December.
