Constitution debate to be held in LS, RS in big winter session breakthrough

02 Dec 2024 Evaluate

In a big breakthrough between the Centre and the Opposition in Parliament, MPs of both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have agreed to hold a debate on the Constitution to commemorate its 75th year of adoption. The Lok Sabha (LS) will conduct the debate on December 13 and 14, while the Rajya Sabha (RS) on 16 and 17. 

Speaker Om Birla held a meeting with floor leaders of different parties where the breakthrough was achieved. Union Minister Rijiju, who attended the meeting, said, ‘It is not good to disrupt parliamentary proceedings. We appeal to all Opposition leaders to make good on the agreement that all of us will ensure parliament functions smoothly from tomorrow’. The Samajwadi Party may also be allowed to raise the Sambhal issue and the Trinamool Congress happenings in Bangladesh in the LS.  

The Congress has been persistent in raising the issue of the indictment of US prosecutors of Adani Group chairperson Gautam Adani and other company officials on bribery and fraud charges. This coupled with vociferous opposition protests over matters such as the Sambhal violence and Manipur unrest have led to continuous adjournments of the LS and RS since the Winter Session began on November 25. 

While, some other opposition parties, especially the TMC want Parliament to discuss a host of different issues, including unemployment, prise rise and the Centre's alleged discrimination against opposition-ruled states in fund allocation. The winter session will go on till December 20.
