The monsoon session of Parliament starts on July 21 and will continue until August 12. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge met with Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, expressing the opposition's desire for a meaningful session.
On the other hand, Congress is fully prepared to hold the Modi government accountable during the 2025 monsoon session. The party has outlined five major issues to vigorously address in Parliament.
Let's explore the issues that Congress plans to confront the Modi government on.
Donald Trump's Comment on India-Pakistan
US President Donald Trump reiterated his claim of playing a crucial role in the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. He even asserted that his trade negotiations helped avert a potential nuclear war. Congress will question the government on India's foreign policy and diplomatic responses being perceived as weak in such matters.
Voter List Revision in Bihar and Imbalance in Other States
The opposition has already raised concerns about the transparency of the voter list revision in Bihar. Congress plans to address this lack of openness in Parliament.
Full Statehood for Jammu and Kashmir
Congress will insist on restoring full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, arguing that despite numerous assurances from the central government, no substantial action has been taken yet.
Women Atrocities Across the Nation
From Manipur to Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, the rising crimes against women are set to be a significant point of contention as Congress seeks accountability from the government on safety, justice, and swift action on these issues.
The Air India Crash: Transparency and Investigation Concerns
Regarding the recent Air India incident, Congress will pose questions to the government about the status of the investigation report, areas of negligence, and the extent of transparency being maintained. After the AAIB's preliminary report, the opposition is gearing up to address this matter seriously.
