Prime Minister Narendra Modi will respond to the debate on the 75th anniversary of India’s Constitution in the Lok Sabha on Saturday, December 14, sources told ANI.

The discussions will be held on December 13 and 14 in the Lok Sabha, and on December 16 and 17 in the Rajya Sabha, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah ready to lead the discussion in the Upper House on December 16.

The decision came amid a series of parliamentary sessions. The end to the parliamentary stalemate came after Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla chaired an all-party meeting last week.


The ongoing winter session of the parliament began on November 25, but has been filled with constant adjournments, with little progress made in the first weeks.


The session will continue until December 20 and is expected to shift focus to the upcoming debate on the 75th anniversary of the Indian Constitution.


Opposition agenda

Further, Samajwadi Party (SP) MPs are planning to raise the issue of the recent violence in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh. The party is expected to demand accountability for the incident and push for a fair investigation into the matter.

The Congress party will continue its focus on the Adani issue, which has been a central point of its criticism of the government.
