The Union government has called an all-party meeting on Monday ahead of the winter session of Parliament to build a consensus for smooth functioning of the two Houses.
At the customary session-eve meeting called by the Parliamentary Affairs Ministry, the Prime Minister usually lists the government’s agenda and seeks the opposition’s support for smooth transaction of official business.
This will be the last full-fledged Parliament session before the Lok Sabha polls next year.
The results of the Legislative Assembly elections, in which both the ruling BJP and the Congress have high stakes, are bound to cast a shadow on the parliamentary proceedings.
Assembly polls results on Tuesday
The results of the polls in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram will be out on December 11, when the session begins.
The government would push for the passage of the ‘triple talaq’ Bill pending in the Rajya Sabha. It had promulgated an ordinance to make the practice of instant triple talaq a penal offence.
The government also wants the Indian Medical Council amendment ordinance and the companies amendment ordinance to be passed as bills in this session.
The winter session usually starts in November. However, it would be the second year in a row when it begins in December.
The session was delayed this year due to the five Assembly elections.
