Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi announced an all-party meeting of Parliamentary floor leaders on September 17, on the eve of the Special Session scheduled to be held from September 18 to 22.
The Opposition parties continued to criticise the government for keeping them in the dark about the agenda for the session. Congress communications chief Jairam Ramesh said that only two people know about the agenda. “Today is September 13. The five-day special session of Parliament will commence five days from now and nobody barring one man (okay, perhaps the Other One too) -- has any sense of the agenda,” Mr. Ramesh said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
