· India · Times of India
Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju has indicated that Parliament may be reconvened, focusing attention on the government's proposal for delimitation. While no immediate session date was set, Rijiju noted that the monsoon session, which concluded on August 13, has not yet been prorogued. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has responded by demanding an all-party meeting to discuss the government's plans before any special session is called. The opposition is pushing for a 25-year freeze on the current Lok Sabha strength of 543 members.
