To present the government's legislative agenda for the Budget Session of Parliament, Prime Minis♒ter Narendra Modi shall chair 💞an all-party meet on Saturday.
Following Pr🐬esident Ram Nath Kovind address to the joint session of the Parliament, this time the customary all-party meet shall be held after the beginning of the session. Generally, these all-party meetings are organised before the session begins, in order to ensure smooth functioning of both the ꦐHouses.
During the virtual meeting, oppos💧ition parties are likely to demand a debate on the farmers' agitation underway at various border points of Del🉐hi.
The opposition parties had raised a similar demand at an all-party meeting convened by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Friday, but the government suggested that the issue of farmers'꧙ agitation can be raised during the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the Pre⛎sident's address for which 10 hours have been allocated in Lok Sabha on February 2,3 and 4.
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Rajya Sabha and L🐽ok Sabha are meeting in shifts of five hours each to ensure distancing norms. While Rajya Sabha will m൩eet in the morning, Lok Sabha will meet in the second half of the day.
