One significant feature of the bill list is the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, which seeks to correct anomalies in the existing law on Waqf.

Other important discussions will be on the proposed Rashtriya Sahkari Vishwavidyalaya Bill for establishing a cooperative university.

As Parliament braces for intense debates, it is expected that the opposition, led by Congress, will raise critical issues such as the ongoing situation in Manipur and bribery allegations against the Adani Group. The government, however, has made it clear that it is open to discussing any topic in a peaceful manner. The union government is more than ready to engage on any issue during the session,” said Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju while calling for cooperation among all parties.
With these big legislative measures on the list, this winter session promises to be full of fierce debates and possibly some intense confrontations. The government needs to pass some crucial reforms, but it’s the suitability, nature, and success of this task that will depend on good cooperation among political parties and taking care of sensitive topics like the Adani issue and regional concerns.
