New Delhi: As the special Parliament Session is scheduled to commence on September 18, Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party, has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging a comprehensive discussion on various issues, including the current economic situation of the country.
In her letter to the PM, Sonia Gandhi is said that the Opposition most certainly wants to participate in the special session as it will give an opportunity to raise matters of public concern and importance.
The Congress leader has put forward a set of issues for deliberation during the special session, encompassing the need for a caste census, concerns related to Manipur, communal tensions, and inflationary pressures.
“I earnestly hope that time will be allocated under the appropriate Rules for a discussion and debate on these issues. These are — current economic situation with a focus on increasing price rise of essential commodities, growing unemployment, rise in inequalities and distress of MSMEs, commitment made by the Government of India to farmers and farmer organizations in regard to MSP and other demands raised by them, demand for a JPC (Joint Parliamentary Committee) to investigate the transactions of the Adani business group in light of all revelations,” she said.
Earlier today, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the INDIA bloc of opposition parties will attend the special session of Parliament to be held from September 18–22.
