‘No proposal to extend Parliament session’: Union parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju
Rijiju said there is no proposal to extend the monsoon session or convene a special sitting, as talks with the Opposition failed to break the deadlock.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju asserted on Wednesday that there is no intention to extend the current monsoon session of Parliament or hold a special session between August 16 and 18 to debate the women's reservation and delimitation bills. The remarks were made during a meeting with the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, aimed at resolving the ongoing impasse between the ruling party and the Opposition.
Gandhi, however, maintained his stance, insisting that Union Home Minister Amit Shah should provide a statement regarding the use of force against protesting students on July 20, as well as a discussion on the Ram Temple donation theft. Rijiju emphasized that there were no formal negotiations regarding extending the session dates, stating that the government had not discussed the matter with the Opposition.
