Parliament's Monsoon Session to be Held from July 21 to August 12. Opposition Demands Discussion on Operation Sindur and Security Issues. Government Shows Positive Stance for Discussion Under Rules.
Parliament Monsoon Session-2025: The Parliament's Monsoon Session is poised to become a focal point of political activity once again. Both the opposition and the ruling party are strategizing for this session, scheduled from July 21 to August 12, 2025. The opposition is particularly demanding extensive discussions on recent events such as Operation Sindur, the Pulwama terror attack, and the India-Pakistan tensions.
Opposition Demands Special Session
The political climate has been heated recently due to security-related incidents in the country. The opposition has consistently demanded a special session to discuss issues like the India-Pakistan border tensions, Operation Sindur, and the subsequent ceasefire declaration. Sixteen opposition parties jointly wrote to the government, highlighting the need for a detailed debate on these sensitive matters. However, the government has now announced a regular Monsoon session of Parliament.
Cabinet Committee Submits Proposal
The Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs has drafted a proposal for the Parliament's Monsoon Session and submitted it to President Draupadi Murmu. Sources indicate that the proposal sets the session dates between July 21 and August 12. This approximately 20-day session will likely address several crucial bills, as well as the opposition's demands.
Session Likely to be Tumultuous
Political analysts believe this Monsoon Session could be quite tumultuous. While the government will attempt to pass various bills as per its agenda, the opposition will likely corner the government on Operation Sindur, India-Pakistan tensions, terrorist attacks, and other national security concerns.
Government's Response and Preparations
The government has clarified that it is fully prepared for discussions on these topics if the opposition raises them within the framework of parliamentary rules. The government has shown a positive stance towards detailed discussions on Operation Sindur and the Pulwama terror attack in particular. This statement indicates the government's desire to see the session as an opportunity for debate and dialogue.
Impeachment Motion in Preparation
Another major political discussion point for this Monsoon Session will be the impeachment motion against Justice Yashwant Verma, a judge of the Allahabad High Court. The government is preparing to introduce this motion but is strategizing to avoid haste and involve opposition parties. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has been given responsibility for this task.
Dialogue with Opposition Parties
Regarding the impeachment motion, Kiren Rijiju has already begun discussions with leaders of major opposition parties, including the Congress, Samajwadi Party, Trinamool Congress, and DMK. It is anticipated that he will also contact other party leaders to garner more support for the motion in the House and to prevent disruptions to the session's proceedings.
