Parliament to Debate Constitution After Week-Long Deadlock

The government and opposition agree on dates for a Constitution discussion, while protests and walkouts continue over other issues.

Both Houses of Parliament will hold a debate on the Constitution next week to mark its 75th anniversary, with scheduled dates of December 13-14 in the Lok Sabha and December 16-17 in the Rajya Sabha.
The agreement follows six days of disruptions during the Winter Session, which began on November 25, caused by opposition demands for discussions on various issues.
Opposition parties continue to raise concerns about topics like the Adani Group controversy, Sambhal violence, and unrest in Manipur, leading to protests and walkouts despite the breakthrough on the Constitution debate.
The Congress-led INDIA bloc remains divided, as some parties, including the TMC, prioritize other issues over the Adani case and criticize repeated disruptions of parliamentary proceedings.
Union ministers have urged opposition leaders to focus on legislative business and avoid disruptions, emphasizing the importance of addressing 'people's issues' in Parliament.
