Opposition Takes a Swipe! 'Only Two Men' Know Special Parliament Session Agenda

Parliament Special Session: A meeting of the floor leaders of all political parties has been arranged for September 17, the day before the start of a five-day extraordinary session of Parliament, according to Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Pralhad Joshi on Wednesday, September 13.

Pre-Session All-Party Meeting Raises Speculation and Uncertainty

In a statement posted on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Minister Joshi stated, "Ahead of the parliament session from the 18th of this month, an all-party floor leaders meeting has been convened on the 17th at 4.30 PM. The invitation for the same has been sent to concerned leaders through email." The reason for summoning this special session has not been made public by the government. Some BJP leaders, however, believe it might be used to draw attention to recent triumphs like the G20 Summit and the successful Chandrayaan-3 lunar landing. Others think a substantial statement that could have an impact on next elections is imminent.

Opposition's Concerns Mount as Special Parliament Session Lacks Clarity

The Opposition has expressed worry about a few facets of the next session. Notably, the administration has announced that there won't be a Question Period or a Zero Hour during this session and that private member bills are also off limits. The Opposition has criticised and questioned these choices. "Today is September 13," Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said, referring to the government's failure to disclose the agenda of the special session. "The five-day special session of Parliament begins in five days, and nobody — except for One Man (and perhaps the Other One as well — knows what's on the agenda." Additionally, he claimed that every prior special session had an agenda that was fully known in advance and that only the Modi administration "distorts" legislative customs. TMC's Derek O'Brien also took to X, and said: "TWO working days to go before the #SpecialParliamentSession begins and still not a word on the agenda." "Only TWO people know! And we still call ourselves a parliamentary democracy," he added.
