New Delhi: The Monsoon session of Parliament, scheduled to begin on July 21 and run until August 12, is set to be a pivotal event in India’s current political landscape. As the government faces mounting pressure from the Opposition, this session will provide a platform for lawmakers to engage in debates and discussions on critical issues affecting the country.
Pahalgam Attack and Operation Sindoor: Key Points of Discussion
The recent Pahalgam attack in Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians, is expected to be a major point of discussion during the session. The Opposition will likely demand answers from the government on the security measures in place and the steps being taken to prevent such incidents in the future. Additionally, Operation Sindoor, a military exercise where India targeted terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, is also likely to be debated.
Impeachment Motion Against Former Judge
An impeachment motion against former Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma is also expected to be moved during the session. This development has sparked intense interest, with many speculating about the potential implications for the judiciary.
Economic Issues and Government Policies
The Monsoon session will also provide an opportunity for Members of Parliament to question government ministers on economic issues and policies. With India’s economy facing several challenges, including inflation and unemployment, the government’s response to these issues will be closely watched.
Opposition’s Demands and Government’s Agenda
The Opposition has been pushing for a special Parliament session to discuss Operation Sindoor, and it remains to be seen whether the government will accommodate their demands. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has stated that all issues can be discussed during the session, including those raised by the Opposition.
As the Monsoon session of Parliament approaches, it is clear that this will be a significant event in India’s current political landscape. With several critical issues on the agenda, including the Pahalgam attack, Operation Sindoor, and economic policies, this session is expected to be a crucial test for the government.
