Overview

• Speaker Biman Banerjee confirmed the three-day sitting for September 1, 2 and 4, with September 3 off for Karam Puja.
• The TMC says it will move a motion condemning alleged detentions and assaults of Bengali-speaking migrant workers in BJP-ruled states and the branding of migrants as Bangladeshis.
• Leaders indicate the House may also take up a resolution opposing the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision after deletions reported in Bihar, which the TMC argues could be replicated in Bengal.
• The state highlights its new Shramashree package for returnees, offering Rs 5,000 for travel and Rs 5,000 a month for up to a year along with rations, health cards, community kitchens and schooling support.
• The BJP, backing detentions and the SIR, criticises the agenda as political, as the TMC also plans to raise the Governor’s return of the Aparajita Bill without assent.
