The much anticipated monsoon
session of the Parliament has begun on
Wednesday,
with the first day witnessing a no-confidence motion against the Modi
government.
Over
the next 18 sessions, a total of 68 pending bills are expected to be
taken up. Of these, 25 bills are listed for consideration and
passage, and three for withdrawal during the session.
At
least, 18 new bills are listed for introduction, consideration, and
passage.
Speaking
ahead of the session, Prime Minister Modi said in
the monsoon session of the Parliament, several pressing issues of the
country need to be discussed extensively.
The
deeper the discussion, better will be the inputs from the senior and
experienced members of the house and the country will be all more
benefitted out of it, he
said.
The
government is prepared to discuss and debate on any issue that any
political party or a member intends to. In this Monsoon, heavy rains
have caused serious challenges in some parts of the country while
there has been a rain deficit in other parts, Modi
said in a press statement.
I
believe that discussing these issues will be quiet relevant, he
added.
