President Murmu Approves Dec 1–19 Winter Session of Parliament

The compact sitting is expected to test tempers after a disrupted monsoon session.

Overview

  • Kiren Rijiju announced on X that the President cleared the government’s proposal to convene the session.
  • The schedule provides for fifteen sittings and is stated to be subject to the exigencies of parliamentary business.
  • Opposition leaders, including the Congress’s Jairam Ramesh, criticised the duration as unusually delayed and truncated.
  • Key legislation expected on the agenda includes the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, with Jan Vishwas and IBC amendments also reported.
  • The session follows the Bihar elections, and opposition parties are poised to press concerns over the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and alleged vote fraud.
