News Topical, Digital Desk : The monsoon session of Parliament is scheduled to begin on July 21. This session is once again likely to witness a stormy confrontation between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the opposition, including the Congress-led Indy coalition. According to sources, the agenda of the monsoon session of Parliament starting on July 21 includes eight new bills and a proposal to extend the period of President's rule in Manipur.
There will be discussion regarding Bihar assembly elections
This Parliament session will have a total of 21 sittings till August 21, including a recess from August 12 to 18. Another of the potential controversies will be the 'special in-depth review' to be conducted by the Election Commission ahead of the Bihar assembly elections later this year. The opposition in Bihar, i.e. Congress and RJD, are opposing the decision to revise the voter list months before the elections.
There will be a debate on the controversy related to former judge Yashwant Verma
The controversy surrounding former Delhi High Court judge Yashwant Verma, who may be impeached this session, is also likely to be debated. After firefighters recovered bundles of cash while dousing a fire at his Delhi bungalow in March, the judge had denied any wrongdoing on his part and called the seizure of cash a 'conspiracy'.
Discussion is also expected on Operation Sindoor
The Parliament is also expected to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack and the subsequent military operation carried out by India - Operation Sindoor.
The government will also consider passing the new Income Tax Bill
Besides this, the government will also consider passing the new Income Tax Bill; it was introduced in the last session and then referred to a joint parliamentary committee for further scrutiny.
If it is passed in this session, it will soon become a law
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told Parliament in February that the new bill will reduce the complex terminology of the Income Tax Act of 1961 and make it easier for the common man to understand. If it is passed in this session, the law will come into force from April 1, 2026.
