The parliamentary winter meeting will begin on Monday, and the opposition has vowed to press the government on various issues, from farmers’ protests to inflation. At the same time, the government has urged the opposition parties to let the parliament run smoothly.
It is expected that on the first day, the People’s Court will consider a bill to repeal the three central agricultural laws that have sparked national protests. Last week, the United Cabinet approved the farm law repeal bill. It is likely to be submitted to Rajya Sabha on the same day after the approval of the Lower House of Parliament.
Farmers will also pay close attention to the proceedings. After the Prime Minister announced the abolition of the Three Laws, the monks expressed that they did not believe what he said and hoped to see the bill really be abolished. They also introduced new requirements for the minimum support price (MSP) to end the protests that have been going on since November last year. Both houses of parliament operate smoothly. In addition to the abolition of the Agricultural Law, the central government is also expected to propose a bill on cryptocurrency to lay the foundation for the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) digital currency.
The government has indicated that it is prepared to discuss any issues permitted by the rules of procedure in the House of Representatives. At the meeting of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Parliamentary Executive Committee, the leaders discussed the strategy of the Winter Conference. A leader later said that the opposition had no major problems to stifle the government because the center had agreed to repeal the agricultural law.
The party emphasized that its members of parliament (MPs) have a higher attendance rate and asked them to be prepared to welcome the opposition. All voters of the National League for Democracy (NDA) led by the People’s Party also held meetings, and allies emphasized the need for better coordination among all partners. Opposition leaders look forward to the debate on the abolition of the agricultural law to force the government on agricultural issues and demand that a law be enacted to guarantee the MSP of agricultural products.
At the party meeting on Sunday, they also promoted discussions about rising prices, unemployment and the use of Pegasus spyware. Some people also asked to discuss strengthening the jurisdiction of the Border Security Force (BSF) in certain states. The leaders of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) Sudip Bandopadhyay and Derek O’Brien raised the issue of the divestment of for-profit public sector units.
The TMC, YSR Congress, and DMK are the parties that have proposed to discuss the Women’s Retention Act at a meeting that starts on Monday.
A total of 31 political parties participated in the meeting convened by the government before the start of the winter meeting. The conference will start on Monday and end on December 23.
