The Monsoon Session of Parliament so far has been a tumultuous one. In the first week of the session, both the Houses of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha could not function to the capacity even for a single day. The second week was no different. The session on Monday started on a stormy note in both houses. The opposition has continued to corner the govt over Pegasus espionage, Farmers Protest and raids on the media.
According to notices issued from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, the government has listed five ordinances for this week’s proceedings. These include
- Homeopathy Central Council (Amendment) Ordinance,
- Indian Medicine Central Council (Amendment) Ordinance
- Air Quality Management Commission in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas Ordinance
- Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Ordinance
- Essential Defense Services Ordinance
