All eyes will also be on the government's legislative agenda, particularly on the controversial amendments of the Waqf laws that the government plans to pass in this session. The Opposition, however, has demanded that the panel reviewing the bill be granted more time for an in-depth analysis.

Defence minister Rajnath Singh chaired an all-party meeting on Sunday that discussed the tentative agenda of the winter session. Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju said he will discuss with Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla the issues raised by the floor leaders at the all-party meeting to decide which ones should be discussed in the House.

"Forty-two leaders from 30 parties participated in the all-party meeting. Every party has given good suggestions and made demands. We have noted their demands. There are many issues. There are some issues on which everyone wanted discussion. The government is ready to discuss any issue. We only want to request to run the House smoothly. There should not be any disruptions. If we can avoid disruptions, it will be beneficial," he added.
