New Delhi, Sept 6: Congress leader Sonia Gandhi wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday to draw his attention to the fact that the special session of Parliament has no agenda listed and to propose nine items for debate, including the violence in Manipur and the rise in prices.
Gandhi cites a number of issues, including border violations by China, the state-centre relationship, the rise in communal conflict, and the call for a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) to look into the Adani business group’s dealings in light of recent findings.
“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,” Gandhi said in her letter.
“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,” she said.
