Government Calls Parliament "Special Session", Agenda Not Known

Government sources have said the agenda is likely to include Amrit Kaal celebrations and India as a 'developed nation', and there is no hint of any important bill.

The government has called for a "special session of Parliament" to be held from September 18 to 22. There will be five sittings, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi posted on X (formerly Twitter). "Amid Amrit Kaal, looking forward to having a fruitful discussion and debate in Parliament," Mr Joshi said. 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.

Government sources have, so far, been tight-lipped on possible agendas. It is unclear if this special session will be held in the new Parliament building, although sources suggest this will not be the case.

Also, it may not be a joint session of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
