Parliament's Winter Session starting on Monday is expected to witness much heat as the Opposition looks to corner the Union government over issues like economic slowdown and situation in Kashmir while the Narednra Modi dispensation seeks to push through the contentious Citizenship (amendment) Bill, a key part of the Bharatiya Janata Party's ideological agenda.
Ahead of the Session, Prime Minister Modi said on Monday, "This is the last Parliament session of 2019. It is very important because this the 250th Parliament session of the Rajya Sabha. During this session, on 26th, we will observe the Constitution Day -- when our Constitution completes its 70 years."
"In the past few days, I had the opportunity to meet leaders of almost all political parties. The last session was phenomenal due to the support of and active participation all MPs, that is an achievement of not only the govt or the treasury bench but The entire Parliament.
"We want frank discussions on all matter. It is important that there should be quality debates, there should be dialogues and discussions, everyone should contribute to enrich the discussions in the Parliament," he said.
While the Congress has given Adjournment Motion Notice in the Lok Sabha over 'Instability in J&K post abrogation of Article 370', the Shiv Sena has given Adjournment Motion Notice over loss of crops due to heavy rainfall in Maharashtra.
