Monsoon session: Impeachment motion & Operation Sindoor set to dominate

The monsoon session of Parliament will be held from July 21 to August 12, with the impeachment motion against justice Yashwant Varma and Operation Sindoor likely to dominate the proceedings.

The Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs, chaired by defence minister Rajnath Singh, has recommended the dates, Union parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju told reporters.

The recommendation will be sent to the president for convening the session, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister added.


Rijiju's announcement comes amid a demand from opposition leaders for a special session to discuss Operation Sindoor. "Every session is a special session for us," he said, emphasising that under the rules, "all important matters" can be discussed during the Monsoon session. He highlighted that the business advisory committee of both Houses will decide on the issues to be addressed.
