Budget Session begins amid hawk-eyed Opposition glare
Kolkata, Feb 23 (IBNS): The Budget Session of the Parliament, which starting from Monday with the President's address, is already attracting several glares from the Opposition.
The Budget Session is supposed to last till March 20. The Parliament will resume itself from April 20. The session will finally be concluding on May 8.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier addressed the opposition and other political parties in a meeting, stating that the Budget Session should run smoothly with the co-operation of the opposition.
According to media reports, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Venkaiah Naidu met Sonia Gandhi to assure the same.
He also promised that the Government will be bringing up all the issues that are the major concerns of the Opposition.
The Opposition stands unconvinced as the issues like Land Acquisition Ordinance will be coming up in the session, which according to them, needs an amendment before it becomes an Act.
Naidu stated that there was a consensus from the political parties on the major Ordinances of the Government; but consensus is yet to be reached on the Land Acquisition act.
The Government is also facing the pressure groups in this aspect. Social activist Anna Hazare is leading an agitation with farmers marching and protesting against the ordinance.
