On Monday, the opening day of the extraordinary session of Parliament, a debate on the 75-year history of the Parliament will take place in New Delhi.
“Parliamentary journey of 75 years starting from Samvidhan Sabha – Achievements, Experiences, Memories and Learnings will be discussed on September 18,” an official Lok Sabha bulletin said.
The extraordinary session, which will reportedly last until September 22 and probably take place in the new Parliament building, would also feature the review and potential approval of four measures.
On Monday, the report of the parliamentary committee on privileges will be presented in both Houses.
Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the leader of the Congress party in the Lok Sabha, had just been suspended from the Lower House, but a committee headed by BJP MP Sunil Kumar Singh recently voted to lift that suspension.
For his comments made during the discussion on the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chowdhury was suspended for the Monsoon Session.
Pralhad Joshi, minister of parliamentary affairs, made the motion to suspend him.
Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury should be suspended from working for the House while the Committee conducts its investigation, Joshi had said. “This House having taken the serious note of the gross, deliberate and repeated misconduct of Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in utter disregard to the House and authority of Chair resolves that the matter of his misconduct be referred to Committee of Privileges of the House for the further investigation and report to the House,” Joshi had said.
