Parliament Winter Session: The 6th working day of the ongoing winter session of the Parliament came to an end at 6 pm on Tuesday. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh briefed Parliament on the clash between Indian Amry and Chinese troops in Tawant Sector, Arunachal Pradesh. While speaking in Lok Sabha, he said, "I want to assure the House that our forces are committed to guard our borders and ready to thwart any attempt that will be made to challenge it.". Earlier in the morning, Congress targeted the government over the reports of clash along LAC in the Tawang Sector and sought a discussion in Parliament. The grand old party said the government needs to take the nation into confidence by discussing the issue in Parliament. Following Singh's address, the Opposition leaders staged a walkout in Lok Sabha. In Rajya Sabha, the Congress staged a walkout after it was denied permission to seek clarifications on the Defence Minister’s statement. Congress members said there was no point in sitting inside the House if they are not given clarifications. In this session, the Union Government is mulling passing at least 16 new bills. The session will continue till December 19 as it had been delayed by a month due to the Gujarat Assembly elections schedule.
