Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi on September 6 wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to point out that the agenda for the special session of Parliament has not been shared with Opposition parties. Ms. Gandhi listed nine issues that the Opposition wanted to discuss during the five-day session that begins on September 18.
These issues include the continuing violence in Manipur, the rise in prices of essential commodities, unemployment, the need for a caste census, the demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to look into the Adani Group in the wake of fresh allegations, the rise in cases of communal tension, border transgressions by China, and the severe damage caused by floods in some States and drought in others.
