The Monsoon Session of Parliament begins today, July 21, and will continue until August 21. The session will include 21 sittings across 32 days. Both Houses will adjourn on August 12 to reconvene on August 18, allowing for Independence Day celebrations.

This is the first session since Operation Sindoor, India’s targeted strike on terror camps in Pakistan following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 people, mostly tourists.

Government Lists 15 Bills for Monsoon Session

Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju said the government has identified 17 items for the session’s legislative business, including 15 bills. These bills include:

Opposition Pushes for PM Modi’s Response

The Opposition, led by the INDIA bloc, plans to question Prime Minister Narendra Modi on multiple issues. These include Operation Sindoor, and US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims of brokering peace between India and Pakistan.

Congress MP and Deputy Leader in Rajya Sabha, Pramod Tiwari, demanded the Prime Minister’s presence and response. He said, “Parliament is more important than travelling abroad,” referring to Modi’s planned visit to the UK and Maldives from July 23 to 26.

Other Issues on the Opposition’s Radar

The INDIA bloc will also raise:

• Restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir

• The Pahalgam terror attack

• Alleged voter deletion in Bihar during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

Kiren Rijiju stated that the government remains open to discussions on all topics, including Operation Sindoor. However, he clarified that any debate must follow the rules and procedures of the Houses. Final decisions will rest with the Business Advisory Committees of both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
