Parliament Special Session Begins in New Building, Women's Reservation Bill to be Discussed

New Delhi : The special session of Parliament began on Monday in the new Parliament building, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 8. The session will be held for five days, and is expected to discuss a number of important issues, including the Women's Reservation Bill.

The Women's Reservation Bill, which has been pending for over two decades, seeks to provide 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. The bill has been passed by the Rajya Sabha, but has not been able to get through the Lok Sabha. It is expected that the bill will be discussed during the current session of Parliament.

In addition to the Women's Reservation Bill, the special session of Parliament is also expected to discuss a number of other important issues, such as the price rise of essential commodities, the situation in Ukraine, and the upcoming monsoon session.

On the first day of the session, Prime Minister Modi addressed both houses of Parliament. In his speech, he highlighted the achievements of the government in the last eight years, and also spoke about the challenges that the country is facing. He called for the cooperation of all parties to work together to address these challenges.
