The monsoon session of Parliament is starting from Monday, July 22. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Economic Survey in Parliament today and the Union Budget in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. This will be the first budget of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third government. This time the monsoon session will run till August 12. Meanwhile, the government will also complete some legislative work. It is being told that at least six bills can be passed. At the same time, the opposition is preparing to corner the government on many issues like appointment of Deputy Speaker in Lok Sabha, NEET UG paper leak, order to write the names of shopkeepers in Kanwar Yatra.
Before the monsoon session, the government called an all-party meeting on Sunday, in which leaders of 44 parties participated. Apart from the Parliamentary Affairs Ministers, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also participated in the meeting on behalf of the government. Rajnath Singh chaired this meeting held in Parliament House. Some other Union Ministers also participated in it. From the opposition, leaders of Congress, Samajwadi Party, Aam Aadmi Party, YSR Congress, MIM and BJP's allies participated. Leaders of Mamata Banerjee's party did not attend this meeting as they had attended the annual Martyrs' Day rally held in Kolkata on Sunday.
In the all-party meeting, Congress demanded that the post of Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha be given to the opposition and also said that the issue of NEET UG should be discussed in the Lok Sabha. Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav raised the issue of writing the name of the shopkeeper on the shops on the way of UP Kavad Yatra. Let us tell you that this order of the Uttar Pradesh government is being criticized everywhere. The Uttarakhand government has also implemented this rule in Haridwar.
However, after the meeting, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said that JDU demanded special state status for Bihar in the meeting, YSR Congress Party also demanded special state status for Andhra Pradesh. Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien had already written a letter to Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju saying that his party has a program in Kolkata, so he will not be able to attend the meeting.
After the all-party meeting, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said- We had a very useful discussion. I want to thank the floor leaders of all the parties who gave good suggestions. We have readily taken suggestions from the leaders of all the houses of Parliament, it is the responsibility of both the government and the opposition. He further said- We are committed to strengthening democracy. The government is ready to discuss any issue in Parliament while following the set rules.
