Parliament Monsoon Session LIVE Updates: PM Modi To Address NDA Parliamentary Party Meeting Today

Parliament Monsoon Session Day 12, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha 5th August LVIE Updates: Legislative business remains stalled in both the Houses as the deadlock continues over the Opposition’s demand for an immediate debate on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, which triggered massive protests on Monday.

Deputy Speaker Jagdambika Pal, presiding over the afternoon session yesterday, reminded members that not a single bill had been passed since the start of the Monsoon Session.

This marks the third straight week of disrupted proceedings in the Monsoon Session, which commenced on July 21.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the BJP-led NDA parliamentary party meeting— the first such gathering during the ongoing Parliament session and the first in a considerable while.

The meeting carries added significance as the nomination process for the Vice President’s election begins on August 7.

With a clear majority in the electoral college, the NDA’s nominee is expected to win unopposed. However, the alliance must announce its candidate by August 21 — the deadline for filing nominations and the final day of the Monsoon Session.
