Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju announced on Tuesday (November 5) the date for the commencement of the Winter Session of Parliament. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he said the winter session of Parliament will begin on 25th November and will continue till 20th December 2024.

"Hon’ble President, on the recommendation of the Government of India, has approved the proposal for summoning of both the Houses of Parliament for the Winter Session, 2024, from 25th November to 20th December, 2024 (subject to exigencies of parliamentary business)," the Parliamentary Affairs Minister said. 

Significantly, he added that on November 26, 2024, i.e., the day that will see the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution, an event will be celebrated in the Central Hall of Samvidhan Sadan with members of both Houses present.  

Moreover, it is pertinent to note that the upcoming session of Parliament is predicted to have a raging discussion over the 'One Nation, One Election' proposal and the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which is said to be introduced during the winter session. 

Earlier, Home Minister Amit Shah, speaking on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, mentioned that the bill will be passed during Parliament's winter session. Speaking at a poll-bound rally in the Badshahpur area of Gurgaon, Shah remarked, "Waqf board law... we will fix it in the next session of Parliament." 

Significantly, it is important to note that the amendments to the Waqf Bill are currently being studied by a joint parliamentary committee led by BJP leader Jagadambika Pal. However, chaos continues to erupt in the proceedings, as in the latest development, opposition MPs who are part of the parliamentary committee accused Pal of making “unilateral” decisions and attempting to “bulldoze” the proceedings, indicating they may disassociate from the body.
