New Delhi: In anticipation of the upcoming Parliament session, the government has scheduled a meeting with leaders from all political parties on Sunday. The objective of this meeting is to provide briefings to the attendees and gather their perspectives. The unusual timing of the session, commencing on Monday, has generated curiosity and speculation regarding potential surprises or unexpected items on the agenda.
Although the primary focus of the session is a special discussion on Parliament’s 75-year journey, commencing with the “Samvidhan Sabha” (Constituent Assembly), there is also the bill concerning the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and other election commissioners on the agenda for consideration and passage. This bill was initially introduced in the Rajya Sabha during the previous Monsoon session.
While no official announcements have been made regarding new legislation, there has been speculation about introducing a bill to ensure gender quota representation for women in elected legislatures, including the Lok Sabha and state assemblies.
The excitement surrounding the session is further fueled by the strong likelihood of Parliament relocating to the newly inaugurated building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 28. This potential move adds an element of intrigue and anticipation to the proceedings, as the government could introduce fresh legislative proposals or other agenda items that were not initially listed.
As the nation awaits the commencement of this parliamentary session, all eyes are on the outcome of the all-party meeting and any potential surprises that may emerge during the proceedings.
