Opposition parties belonging to the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) on Tuesday demanded that the Modi government spell out the agenda for the Special Session of Parliament even as the Congress decided that parliamentary party chief Sonia Gandhi will write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issues that the principal Opposition party wants to raise during the session. The Parliamentary Strategy Group of the Congress, which met at Ms. Gandhi’s 10 Janpath residence, decided that she will ask the government to have a debate on the continuing violence in Manipur, price rise, unemployment, Chinese transgressions and other issues, during the five-day Special Session of Parliament that begins on September 18.
Ms. Gandhi’s letter will be on behalf of the 24 parties that are part of the INDIA bloc, which will take part in the session. After the Congress meeting, the leaders of different political parties in India came together at the house of Mallikarjun Kharge, who is a important leader. They met to make a plan that everyone could agree on for the upcoming session. “The Modi government is holding a special session of parliament for the first time without clarifying the agenda. No one from any opposition party has been consulted or informed. This is not the way to run democracy,” Mr Karg posted on social media platform X shortly after the meeting of bloc leaders ended. India. He added, "Every day, the Modi government plants a story in the media about a possible 'agenda', thus creating a smokescreen to divert attention from the real issues weighing on people...". During a meeting, the Congress party talked about a plan called ‘one nation one election’, where all elections in India would happen at the same time. They also talked about an invitation to a special meeting called G-20, where India was called "Republic of Bharat". Lastly, they talked about a comment made by a leader from a different political party, who talked about the traditional religion of India called Sanatana Dharma.
There are many different problems. Former Union Minister P. Chidambaram, Salman Khurshid, and Rajya Sabha member Abhishek Singhvi explained to their party friends about the legal parts of two things: having elections at the same time and changing the name. The Congress party decided to continue with their belief of respecting all religions, which is called sarva dharma sambhava. They also discussed other important issues like high prices and people without jobs, new accusations against a big company, fighting between different religious groups in a place called Nuh, reports from a government agency, and a lot of destruction caused by floods in Himachal Pradesh and Northeast India. These are all things they think should be talked about in a special meeting. A group of people in the government want to investigate the Adani Group. A leader from the Congress party said that the schedule for the government meetings did not mention this investigation. He said they will ask the government about it and talk about their concerns in every meeting. Derek O'Brien, a member of the Trinamool Congress party, is asking why the plan for the meeting is not being shared with everyone. He believes that in a democratic government, everyone should know what is going to be discussed.
