Parliament’s Winter Session will start today. It is expected to witness heated debates as the Opposition looks to corner the government over issues like economic slowdown and the situation in Kashmir. On the other hand, the Modi dispensation seeks to push through the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, a key part of the BJP’s ideological agenda.
The session will open with obituary references to two members of the Upper House — former Union ministers Arun Jaitley and Ram Jethmalani — and former external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj. Both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha might be adjourned for a few hours on Monday morning to pay respects to the deceased members.
Meanwhile, before the beginning of winter session, PM Modi spoke to reporters outside the parliament. He hailed the completion of 70 years of the Indian Constitution, and also upheld the “oneness and unity” of the country, adding that the ongoing session is the last one before the year 2019 concludes.
He said, Parliament sessions have been successful because of the support of all the MPs and this is a success of the entire Parliament. #PMModi #WinterSession #LokSabha
