New Delhi: The Special Session of Parliament is going to commence in the old building on September 18 and will later be moved to the new building on September 19, on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, news agency ANI reported on Wednesday.
According to a recent notification, the special session of Parliament will take place for two and a half days in the old Parliament and three and a half days in the new Parliament building.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the new Parliament building on June 1.
Last week, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi announced that the “special session” of Parliament will be from September 18 to 22. But didn’t share the agenda, triggering speculation.
The five-day special session, which was announced last week, will reportedly see the introduction of bills on women’s reservation and ‘one nation-one election’.
On September 2, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha secretariats said the special session of both Houses of Parliament will be held from September 18-22 without Question Hour or private members’ business.
The session will have five sittings and members will be informed about the provisional calendar separately, the secretariats said.
“Members are informed that the Thirteenth Session of the Seventeenth Lok Sabha will commence on Monday, September 18, 2023,” the Lok Sabha Secretariat said.
“Members are informed that the Two Hundred and Sixty-First Session of the Rajya Sabha will commence on Monday, September 18, 2023,” the Rajya Sabha secretariat said.
Traditionally, there are three parliamentary sessions in a year — Budget, Monsoon and Winter sessions.
