However, the government did not provide a reason for calling the session, which will feature five sittings.
A “Special Session” of Parliament will be held by the government from September 18 to 22, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi stated on Thursday.
The 13th session of the 17th Lok Sabha and the 261st session of the Rajya Sabha, which will consist of 5 sittings, are being summoned as a special session of Parliament. Looking forward to having good talks and debate in Parliament amid Amrit Kaal,” Joshi wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
However, the minister omitted to explain the purpose of calling the meeting.
The previous Monsoon session of Parliament, which took place between July 20 and August 11, saw tense exchanges between the opposition I.N.D.I.A. (Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance) group and the BJP-led ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), primarily over the issue of ethnic violence in Manipur.
In addition, I.N.D.I.A submitted a no-confidence resolution against the Modi administration, which was soundly defeated on the final day when the opposition left the Lok Sabha during the speech of the prime minister.
