Monsoon Session kicks off today; here's a complete list of bills and amendments

The Prime Minister has urged the political parties to collectively strive for a constructive atmosphere in the monsoon session for the national good.

The Monsoon Session of the Parliament is set to begin on Wednesday. While the Centre is looking to pass several bills over the 18 sittings that will go on till August 10, a lot of drama is expected in both the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha.

The Center is targeting a smooth session, after an all-party meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday night, but the Opposition led by the Congress will be looking to target the BJP over various amendments. The Centre has assured the Opposition that it will hear all they have to say at the meeting, but just how far those words will translate into action is to be seen.

The government has listed 48 items up for discussion this session, comprised of 46 bills and two financial matters. The Centre will be looking to pass The Muslims Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill and the 123rd Amendment, which are both high-priority.

The Prime Minister urged the political parties to collectively strive for a constructive atmosphere in the monsoon session for the national good, following the letter by the speaker of the Lok Sabha Sumitra Mahajan to all members asking them to maintain the decorum of the house.

Sumitra Mahajan and Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu also chaired to separate all-party meetings to ensure the smooth functioning of both houses.
