New Delhi : The Congress Parliamentary Strategy Group will convene on July 16 at the residence of Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi to finalise the party’s approach for the upcoming Monsoon Session of Parliament.
The meeting, scheduled for 11 am, will concentrate on the issues the party intends to raise and its overall parliamentary strategy for the session.
The government has called an all-party meeting on July 19, a day before the session begins, to discuss the legislative agenda and to seek support from various political parties. This customary meeting before each Parliament session is also set to start at 11 am, officials stated.
The Monsoon Session, which Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju previously confirmed will run from July 20 to August 13, is anticipated to feature vigorous debates. The Opposition is expected to highlight several political and public interest concerns, while the government aims to advance its legislative plans.
“On the recommendation of the Govt of India, Hon’ble President, Smt. Droupadi Murmu ji has approved the summoning of both the Houses of Parliament for the Monsoon Session 2026. The Session will commence on July 20, 2026 and continue till August 13, 2026, for meaningful debate, discussion and decisions on issues of National Importance,” Rijiju wrote in a post on X.
The session will likely include detailed discussions on important legislative proposals, with the government preparing to present significant bills for consideration. The period is expected to be contentious, given recent divisions among some opposition parties.
Additionally, the Joint Parliamentary Committee examining the proposed 130th Constitution Amendment Bill is anticipated to adopt its report on July 17 before submitting it to Parliament. The bill has sparked political debate due to its clause mandating the automatic removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers and Union or State ministers from office if they remain in judicial custody for 30 consecutive days in cases involving serious offences.
