The winter session of parliament, which commenced on December 4, will see both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha sit for 15 sessions over 19 days. This session is expected to be interesting as it begins on the eve of the declaration of assembly poll results in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, and Mizoram. The session will also be important for both the ruling party and the opposition as it is the second last parliamentary session ahead of the general elections, which are to be held in 2024.
The government tentatively listed 19 items of Legislative Business and two items of Financial Business for consideration during the winter session.
The first bill that was passed in the Lower House of Parliament today was one that aims to regulate the legal profession by a single Act and seeks to target “touts”. Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said there should be no role for such persons in the country’s courts.
