Winter Session of Parliament: The Winter Session of Parliament for 2023 begins today, December 4, and will last until December 22. Earlier on Saturday, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi stated that the government is fully prepared for structured debate and that the opposition has been asked to allow the House to function normally.
Encouraged by its victory in the assembly elections, the BJP is preparing to face the Congress-led opposition in Parliament’s Winter Session. The leaders of the Opposition INDIA bloc will also meet, ostensibly to redraw their strategies for dealing with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP both in Parliament and in elections.
The Congress party had hoped to win big in Madhya Pradesh and keep Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, but instead suffered a crushing defeat. However, the grand old party was successful in ousting the BRS from Telangana.
The Lok Sabha Ethics Committee’s report, which recommends Mahua Moitra’s expulsion from the Lower House due to a “cash-for-query” complaint, is also scheduled for tabling in the House today. Earlier on Saturday, Congress Lok Sabha leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury wrote to Speaker Om Birla, requesting a review of the rules and processes governing the operation of parliamentary committees. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has insisted on a debate on the Ethics Committee report in the House during a meeting of political party floor leaders chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
