“I must point out that this Special Session has been convened without any consultation with other political parties. None of us have any idea of its agenda. All we have been communicated is that all five days have been allocated for Government Business.

We most certainly want to participate in the Special Session because it will give us an opportunity to raise matters of public concern and importance. I earnestly hope that time will be allocated under the appropriate Rules for a discussion and debate on these issues. These are:

Last week, Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Pralhad Joshi made an announcement regarding the scheduling of a Special Parliamentary Session set to take place from September 18th to 22nd. Subsequent notifications from the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha confirmed the session’s dates while also indicating that during these five days, there will be no provision for the Question Hour and Zero Hour.

While the specific agenda items for this parliamentary session have not yet been officially delineated, there is widespread speculation that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) may introduce a bill proposing the ‘One Nation One Election’ policy. Additionally, there are discussions surrounding a proposal to alter the country’s name from India to Bharat.

According to media reports, the Special Parliamentary Session is expected to be conducted in the newly inaugurated parliament building.
