New Delhi, Nov 08: Winter session of the Parliament will be held from December 1 to 19, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Saturday.

Rijiju took to X to confirm the news.

He said that the President of India Droupadi Murmu has approved the proposal to convene the winter session of the Parliament from December 1 to 19.

"Looking forward to a constructive & meaningful Session that strengthens our democracy & serves the aspirations of the people,” Rijiju posted on X.

Reacting to this, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh posted on X “It has just been announced that the Winter Session of Parliament will be from Dec 1st till 19th.

This is unusually delayed and truncated. It will be just 15 working days. What is the message being conveyed? Clearly the Government has no business to transact, no Bills to get passed, and no debates to be allowed.”
