Govt, Oppn end Parliamentary impasse, agree to hold discussions on Constitution

NEW DELHI: After a week of disruption and chaotic scenes in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, the government and Opposition parties on Monday reached an agreement to break the impasse in Parliament and agreed to hold discussions on the Constitution.

The Lok Sabha will take up the discussion on the Constitution to mark its 75th year of adoption on December 13 and 14, and the Rajya Sabha on December 16 and 17.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, who announced the dates, expressed confidence that both Houses will function smoothly from Tuesday.

The breakthrough came at a meeting of Speaker Om Birla with floor leaders of different parties. The Opposition parties had demanded discussions in both Houses of Parliament to mark the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution by the Constituent Assembly.
