Overview

  • The Lok Sabha has allocated 10 hours for the discussion, with the BJP allotted three hours and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh set to deliver the closing remarks.
  • In the Rajya Sabha, Home Minister Amit Shah will open the discussion and Leader of the House J. P. Nadda is expected to conclude it.
  • The schedule was set after an all-party meeting and Business Advisory Committee decisions that helped break a procedural logjam.
  • A separate debate on election reforms, including the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, is slated for December 9–10 in the Lok Sabha and December 10–11 in the Rajya Sabha.
  • Opposition parties are split on holding the Vande Mataram discussion, with the Congress objecting to the timing and the Trinamool Congress supporting it.
