According to sources, the Central government will summon a special session of Parliament between September 18 and 22, during which President Droupadi Murmu is expected to address both Houses at the new Parliament building.
The president, who was not present at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s inauguration of the new Parliament building on May 28, is expected to address both Houses at the new premises.
“Special Session of Parliament (13th Session of 17th Lok Sabha and 261st Session of Rajya Sabha) is being called from 18th to 22nd September having 5 sittings. Amid Amrit Kaal looking forward to have fruitful discussions and debate in Parliament,” Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi tweeted.
According to those familiar with the events, the session will also include a discussion of the plan for the next 25 years.
In protest of the government’s decision not to invite President Droupadi Murmu to perform the honor, Congress and many major opposition parties boycotted the inauguration of the new Parliament building on May 28 this year.
The prime minister’s inauguration of the new Parliament building occurred during the height of the wrestlers’ agitation.
