The winter session of Parliament, which is likely to commence from
Monday (November 29) to December 23, is set to witness uproar over a
wide range of issues, including withdrawal of farm laws, Assembly polls
in five states, 'revelations' of Congress leader Manish Tewari's book,
among others.
The opposition is formulating a strategy to
corner the ruling BJP over farmers' issues, national security, economy,
while the BJP is all set to counter the attacks.
The Opposition
will gherao the government over China's "intrusion" into the country and
situation in Jammu and Kashmir while the Union government will attack
the leadership of the grand old party over the "confession" in Tewari's
book regarding 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. Training guns on the
Congress, BJP national president J.P. Nadda said the saffron party had
been saying all along that the stance of the then Manomohan Singh
government on the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks showed the UPA's weakness
due to which the country had to face all that, but now Tewari has also
accepted the same in his book.
The BJP will try to put the
Congress in dock by comparing UPA's restraint after 2008 Mumbai terror
attacks with surgical strikes during the Modi government.
The
Congress will target the Modi government over Rafale deal, while the BJP
will counterattack with French media Medipart's report and question the
grand old party's leadership on who took the Rs 65 crore commission for
36 Rafale jets during 2007 to 2012.
On farm issues, Prime
Minister Narendra Modi had already made it clear that the government had
brought the three farm laws for the welfare of 80 per cent small
farmers, but the government was unable to make few of them understand
the legislations. On the first day of the Monsoon session, Union
Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar will move the Farm Laws
Repeal Bill, 2021 in the Lok Sabha. The government wants this Bill to
get passed the same day after discussion.
The Opposition will try
to corner the government over rising prices of petrol and diesel, and
"poor" management of Covid-19 pandemic, the BJP will revert with
historic vaccination coverage in the country.
The BJP will also slam the opposition for politicising the pandemic and national issues.
The
Opposition will attack the government with the Pegasus snooping row,
while the BJP will try to send a message to public by highlighting what
senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid has written in his book about
Hindu and Hindutva. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee,
who is trying to widen Trinamool's footprint in the country and
establish the party as an option to the Congress in the national
politics, will attack the government over the Tripura violence, while
the BJP will flag up the issue of "killings" of the saffron party
activists after the West Bengal Assembly polls. The Union government is likely to introduce 26 Bills in the winter session and hold discussion on three other Bills.
