The BJP and the Congress have issued a whip to all their MPs, asking them to be present during the upcoming five-day Parliament special session from September 18. The whip has been issued to the MPs from the Lok Sabha as well as the Rajya Sabha. The special session, which is unusual for its timing, is likely to see the proceedings of Parliament moving from the old building to the new building. The government has also listed the bill on the appointment of the chief election commissioner and other election commissioners to be taken up for consideration and passage during the session. The bill was introduced in the Rajya Sabha during the last Monsoon session. The other listed business for Lok Sabha includes ‘The Advocates (Amendment) Bill-2023’ and ‘The Press and Registration of Periodicals Bill-2023’, already passed by Rajya Sabha on August 3. Besides, ‘The Post Office Bill-2023’ has also been listed in the Lok Sabha business, according to an official bulletin. The bill was earlier introduced in the Rajya Sabha on August 10, 2023. The government has also convened a meeting of the floor leaders of all political parties on September 17, a day before the start of the five-day session, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said.
