Indian Government's Intentions Under Scrutiny as Special Session Rumors Emerge

Amid reports of not announcing a winter session and calling a special session, the opposition parties are now putting the central government's intention in the dock. There is talk that the government may call a special session of parliament before the winter session. It may pass legislative proposals related to delimitation and implementation of the women's reservation law. Party leaders from the Congress to the Shiv Sena (UBT) have reacted strongly. The winter session may start on November 30 or December 4, the Indian Express reported. This means that the government can call a short special session if it wants. Congress MP from Chandigarh Manish Tewari said, "No session has been called yet. The thing is very clear. You cannot delimit under the guise of women's reservation. The women's reservation law has already been passed three years before the parliament. If you want to give reservation to women, then one-third of the 543 seats can be reserved for them." Congress MP Kiran Kumar Reddy said that the BJP wanted to bring the bill earlier. "I think they can demand a small special session if they want to."
