“Discussions are scheduled for February 3, 4, and 6, with the reply set for February 6, provisionally allotted for discussion on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address to be moved by a Member and seconded by another Member,” the bulletin read.

Addressing the media, Union Minister Kiren Rijuju had urged cooperation and collective discussion from the opposition earlier.

Recalling the situation of winter Sessions, Kiren Rijuju said there was ‘hungama’ in the last two sessions which had created a poor image of Parliament. Notably, there was a ruckus in parliament last winter session as opinion differences between political parties converted into physical tension.

“In the last two sessions, there was some ‘hungama’ in the Parliament which created a poor image of our Parliament. I want to appeal to Opposition leaders and other MPs to take part and hold discussions in Parliament during the session. If the Opposition allows the Parliament to run, then discussions can happen easily,” he added.
