The Trinamool Congress told the government that it wanted the Parliament to run but it must "reciprocate" by allowing the discussion on Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

At an all-party meeting attended by party's Leader in Rajya Sabha Derek O'Brien and Lok Sabha MP Kalyan Banerjee, a demand for discussion on SIR was raised by the Opposition.

"We are ready to cooperate in running the House provided treasury benches also cooperate with the Opposition. We want more time allocated to the Opposition during the Parliament session," Banerjee told reporters after the meeting.

Bahujan Samaj Party national president Mayawati on Monday expressed hope that the Winter Session of Parliament will address important matters concerning the public, as she appealed to both the opposition and treasury benches to ensure the smooth functioning of both houses.

संसद का शीतकालीन सत्र आज से शुरू हो रहा है, जिसके हर सत्र की तरह इस बार भी काफी हंगामेदार होने की संभावना व्यक्त की जा रही है, किन्तु हमारी पार्टी चाहती है कि संसद के दोनों सत्र सुव्यवस्थित व शान्तिपूर्ण तरीक़े से संचालित हों, ताकि देश व जनहित के ज़रूरी और अहम मुद्दों में भी…

Congress MPs Manickam Tagore and Vijay Kumar Vasanth on Monday moved an adjournment motion in Parliament seeking an urgent debate on the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in the country.

Calling the revision exercise as "unplanned and one-sided," the Congress MPs have flagged the alleged extreme pressure put on Booth Level Officers (BLOs), resulting in deaths and exhaustion.

Ahead of the session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will brief accredited media representatives at 10:00 am at Hans Dwar, Parliament House, on the opening day of the Sixth Session of the Eighteenth Lok Sabha. Such briefings by the Prime Minister traditionally set the tone for the legislative and political agenda of the session.

The government has listed several other important bills for consideration during the session. These include the National Highways (Amendment) Bill, the Atomic Energy Bill, the Corporate Laws (Amendment) Bill, the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill, and the Higher Education Commission of India Bill, 2025.

The Atomic Energy Bill is expected to draw particular attention, as it may open the door for private companies to establish nuclear power plants-an unprecedented shift in India's nuclear energy framework.

Beyond legislation, Parliament will also take up discussion and voting on the first batch of Supplementary Demands for Grants for 2025-26, a crucial exercise in government expenditure planning.

Top Congress leaders on Sunday evening met at the residence of Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi and held discussions on the party's strategy for the Winter session of Parliament starting Monday.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi were present in the meeting.

At the meeting, the leaders decided to raise the demand for a discussion on the electoral reforms which would include Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.

The government intends to begin the Winter Session with a full-day discussion on the "Vande Mataram" as the country commemorates 150 years of the national song. The idea is to discuss the full recitation of the national song after Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleged that the removal of "significant verses" from the song in 1937 led to India's partition.

The Winter session of parliament begins today under the shadow of a handful of contentious issues including voter list revision and the death of an election official in Bengal that are expected to generate conflict.
