All-Party Meeting Scheduled Before Parliament's Monsoon Session

On the eve of the Parliament's monsoon session, the government has convened an all-party meeting on Sunday. This gathering aims to discuss several significant issues related to the legislative agenda and the upcoming proceedings in Parliament. Leaders from all major political parties have been invited to ensure smooth operations during the session.

According to sources, the opposition may raise the issue of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk during the meeting. Recently, Wangchuk was forcibly removed from Delhi's Jantar Mantar, citing health reasons. Reports suggest that opposition parties might demand answers from the government regarding the Delhi police's actions in removing him from the protest site of the Cockroach Public Party (CJP).

Another critical topic expected to be discussed is the alleged misuse and misappropriation of donations at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The Samajwadi Party has already made it clear that it will strongly raise this issue in Parliament. A sharp response from the opposition on this matter is anticipated.

During this session, the government plans to introduce several new and significant bills. According to the Lok Sabha Secretariat's bulletin, the National Honor Prevention (Amendment) Bill, 2026 is scheduled to be presented and passed. This bill aims to make it a punishable offense to insult the national song, Vande Mataram, or obstruct its singing.

Additionally, the Birth and Death Registration (Amendment) Bill, 2026 will also be introduced, which seeks to tighten registration rules further. The government will also present the Income Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2026, which will replace the ordinance granting tax exemptions to foreign investors. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has also extended an invitation to Sudip Bandopadhyay, leader of the faction separated from TMC, for this meeting.

This monsoon session of Parliament is expected to run from July 20 to August 13. In this traditional pre-session meeting, the government typically requests all parties to maintain the dignity of the House and cooperate in conducting proceedings without any disruptions.
