Amid the ongoing special session of Parliament, the Union Cabinet is scheduled to convene in the evening at 6:30 PM. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for this cabinet meeting, which is expected to take place in the Parliament Annexe building. The agenda for the meeting has not been revealed, further adding to the political speculation surrounding the special session.
Ahead of the cabinet meeting, senior ministers such as Piyush Goyal and Pralhad Joshi met with PM Modi and the Union Home Minister. The reports of this cabinet meeting have heightened political tensions in Delhi, especially as the 28-member opposition bloc I.N.D.I.A remains uncertain about the purpose of the special parliamentary session.
During the first day of the special session of Parliament, Prime Minister Modi addressed the house on an emotional note as he announced that proceedings would be relocated to the new Parliament building on Tuesday. In his address, PM Modi paid tribute to the historic significance of the current Parliament House, formerly known as the Imperial Legislative Council before independence.
PM Modi praised the vision and contributions of various leaders, including Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, P V Narasimha Rao, and Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He also acknowledged the roles played by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Chandrashekhar, and Lal Krishna Advani in India’s political landscape.
The special session of Parliament, according to PM Modi, is brief but historic, as it is set to make significant decisions. He emphasized that all decisions aimed at transforming India into a developed country by 2047 will be made in the new Parliament building.
In his address, PM Modi stated, “This session is short, but in terms of time, it is very big. This is a session of historic decisions. A specialty of this session is that the journey of 75 years is starting from a new destination.” He expressed a sense of enthusiasm and renewed confidence that has gripped the entire country.
As the Union Cabinet meets amid the ongoing special session, the political landscape remains charged with anticipation about the session’s objectives and the historic decisions that may be announced in the coming days. The special session holds significance as India marks 75 years of independence and looks ahead to its future development and growth.
