New Delhi:
The monsoon session of Parliament has been extended by a day till September 7 to ensure passage of certain key bills.
The Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs decided the last sitting will now be held on Saturday instead of Friday.
The decision to extend the session came as the Government wants to pass important measures including Land Acquisition Bill and Pensions Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Bill.
The monsoon session was scheduled to end on August 30 but was extended till September 6. This is the second extension of the ongoing session.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath had indicated yesterday that the session may be further extended.
