New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP)’s Parliamentary Party Executive meeting is likely to be held on July 18, just a day before the monsoon session of Parliament begins. Sources have confirmed that the meeting is scheduled to take place at 11 am. On the same day, the Union parliamentary affairs minister, Shri Pralhad Joshi called an all-party meeting.
The monsoon session of the Parliament is scheduled to begin from July 19 this year. It will be the first session after the second wave of COVID-19. The session will last for 19 business days and shall end on August 13, 2021.
