MONSOON SESSION BEGINS, CONGRESS NOTICE IN LOK SABHA OVER CHINESE INCURSION IN LADAKH 

                      

                 The 18-day Monsoon Session of Parliament begins today with the Opposition all set to raise the issues of ongoing India-China standoff in Ladakh, handling of the coronavirus pandemic and economic slowdown. The 18-day Parliament session is being held amid unprecedented precautionary measures against Covid-19 due to a continuing spike in cases. On the eve of the session, the Union Health Ministry reported 94,372 fresh cases in 24 hours. The government has, meanwhile, listed 23 new legislations for consideration and passage including 11 bills replacing ordinances. There also 20 other bills pending in either Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha, according to media reports. The agenda for the session was decided during a business advisory committee (BAC) meeting called by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla yesterday. AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi raised the issue of India-China tussle and the need for the Parliament to know what was going on the borders. Owaisi told government to brief the MPs alone since this is a matter of national security, and keep the media away. The government is said to have told the BAC that the matter can be taken up during tomorrow’s meeting. However, the government will for now offer a statement by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on the developing situation. 


         Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said members of Parliament have chosen to abide by their responsibility by turning up for the monsoon session. According to media reports, Modi also expressed hope that discussions on important issues will be taken up in the session and all MPs will send out a message “in one voice” that the whole country is standing behind the brave soldiers posted at the borders in difficult terrain. Addressing the media ahead of the monsoon session, the Prime Minister said that the pandemic is still around but the MPs chose the path to duty. After the Budget session had to be cut short in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Parliament is reconvening for an 18-day session that will see business during staggered working hours.
