New Delhi: The Cabinet will be meeting on Wednesday to decide the dates for the winter session of Parliament. Sources said that the session may be called from third week of November.
The four-week long monsoon session witnessed a lot of drama with repeated adjournments, suspension of Congress MPs from the Lok Sabha, many wearing black bands and senior leaders protesting in the well of the House. Allegations and counter-allegations flew thick and fast but no substantial debate or discussion took place except the one on the controversy surrounding External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's alleged links with tainted cricket administrator Lalit Modi.
Monsoon session was also the first time that the Narendra Modi government faced a turbulent task in bringing Opposition on board to get key legislations passed but ultimately failed to due so despite enjoying a brute majority in the Lok Sabha.
The adamant Congress having just 44 MPs in the 543-member Assembly did not let the government have its way. Congress's demand for resignations of Sushma, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje on Lalit Modi row and Madhya Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Vyapam scam resulted in pandemonium in Parliament and ultimately Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan suspended 25 Congress MPs for five days leading to more protests.
