A session of both Houses of Parliament will be held from September 18-22 without Question Hour or private members’ business, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha secretariats said on Saturday. The session will have five sittings and members will be informed about the provisional calendar separately, the secretariats said. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi had announced a ‘special session’ of Parliament for five days from September 18, but kept the agenda for it under wraps, triggering speculation. Generally, three parliamentary sessions are held in a year — Budget, Monsoon and Winter sessions. The ‘special session’ could see parliamentary operations being shifted to the new Parliament building which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 28. The government is also setting up a high-level committee to examine and recommend simultaneous polls, leading to speculation that this session could be the last of the current Lok Sabha. Arrangements are being made for a group photo of MPs, fueling further speculation about the session.
