New Delhi: The winter session of Parliament is going to start tomorrow, i.e. from December 1. Before that, on Sunday, the central government called an all-party meeting to reach a consensus with the opposition. All senior opposition leaders attended this meeting. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said, “We will listen to the opposition parties. This is the winter session, we hope that everyone will work with a cool mind and avoid heated debates.” He said, “There will be a meaningful discussion in Parliament, there will be no disturbance. If we work with a cool mind, it will be beneficial for the country and the Parliament session will run smoothly.”
On the SIR issue, Rijiju said, “I cannot say what issues we will bring up for discussion. The Election Commission does its work. I am not the Election Commission’s spokesperson.” The winter session of Parliament will run from December 1st to December 19th. There will be 15 sittings throughout the 19-day session. Ten new bills, including the Atomic Energy Bill, may be introduced. Meanwhile, the opposition will try to corner the government on the SIR issue.
The India Block may move to impeach Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar during the winter session of Parliament. The India Block held a meeting at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence on August 18th. Following the meeting, eight opposition parties, including the Congress, TMC, SP, DMK, and RJD, held a joint press conference. TMC General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee stated, “There are three days left in the current Parliament session (monsoon session). A 14-day notice is required for impeachment proceedings. Considering the CEC’s attitude, we will file the notice in the next session (winter session).”
In fact, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi had accused the Election Commission of vote theft on August 7. On August 17, CEC Gyanesh Kumar had said, “Rahul should file an affidavit on the allegations of vote theft or apologize to the country.”
