Monsoon Session of Parliament announced 47 days ahead
For the very first time this year the date for the Monsoon session of Parliament has been announced 47 days ahead to ‘run away’ from special session on Pahalgam.
Reacting to the advance Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said normally the dates for a Parliament session are announced a few days in advance, but “never have the dates been declared 47 days before a session is due”
The Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs, chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, has recommended the dates.
Taking to his X, Congress general secretary, communications, Jairam Ramesh, wrote that normally the dates for a Parliament session are announced a few days in advance, but “never have the dates been declared 47 days before a session is due. He feels this has been done solely to run away from the demand being made repeatedly by the Indian National Congress and the INDIA parties for an immediate special session to discuss the brutal Pahalgam attacks and the failure to bring the terrorists who did the killings themselves to justice, the impacts of Operation Sindoor and its blatant politicisation, the revelations of the CDS in Singapore, the hyphenation of India and Pakistan, the embedding of China in the Pakistan Air Force, the continuous claims of President Trump on mediation, and the numerous failures of our foreign policy and diplomatic engagement.
The Congress leader further asserted that monsoon session will, however, still be dominated by these issues of supreme national importance. The PM has run away from a special session but will have to answer very tough questions six weeks from now,” the Congress leader said. Adding that Rajnath Singh’s recommendation will be sent to the President for convening the session.
The announcement by. Rijiju comes against the backdrop of a demand for a special session by Opposition leaders to discuss Operation Sindoor.
