New Delhi, Nov 30 (UNI) Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Sunday dismissed the government‑convened all‑party meeting called ahead of the Winter Session of Parliament as “a mere formality,” saying the 15‑day session beginning tomorrow would be the briefest on record.
In a post on X, Ramesh criticised the Modi government for “listing 13 Bills for passage” — of which only one replaces an ordinance and just two have been scrutinised by a Lok Sabha committee — leaving ten Bills without examination by the relevant standing committee.
“It is possible that a Bill not listed at present will suddenly get introduced towards the later part of the short session,” he speculated.
“The all‑party meeting called by the Modi Govt to discuss the agenda for the winter session of Parliament starting tomorrow is a mere formality. This session of 15 days will be the shortest in Parliamentary history. The Modi Govt has listed 13 Bills for passage… ten Bills have not been examined by the Standing Committee concerned… The Modi Govt has made its intentions clear by listing a subject for a short‑duration discussion WITHOUT any consultation with the Opposition,” Ramesh said.
