The government will convene a special session of Parliament for five days between September 18 and 22, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said on Thursday but didn't reveal the agenda.
"Amid Amrit Kaal looking forward to having fruitful discussion and debate in Parliament," Joshi posted on X. He said the special session - the 13th of the 17th Lok Sabha and 261st of the Rajya Sabha - would have five sittings.
The special session, sources said, could see parliamentary proceedings in the new building of Parliament, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated on May 28.
The session will be days after the G20 Summit in the national capital on September 9 and 10 and a day after the proposed launch of the Prime Minister Vishwakarma Scheme on the Vishwakarma Day on September 17. The day is also PM Modi's birthday, which the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) celebrates as 'seva diwas'. The BJP marks the fortnight from the PM's birthday to October 2, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, as 'sewa pakhwara' or fortnight in the service of people.
