New Delhi, Nov 18, TEN Network | Ahead of the session, the Opposition raised questions over the continued detention of leaders in Kashmir and demanded that National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah, who is held under the Public Safety Act, “be allowed to attend Parliament”. “How can a parliamentarian be detained illegally?” Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said, in an apparent reference to Abdullah.
In his customary remarks, the PM said the government was willing to discuss every issue in the House. Returning to power with an increased majority, the Modi government in the past two sessions pushed through the triple talaq Bill and the scrapping of special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
The session is scheduled to conclude on December 13, and will hold a special joint sitting of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on November 26 to commemorate ‘Constitution Day’. ( TIE)
