The Monsoon Session of Parliament is set to start on July 20. It is expected to be tumultuous. Opposition parties are planning to unite against the BJP. They are likely to raise various issues during the session. Some of the issues include the economy, inflation, unemployment, and the Pegasus snooping scandal.
One area of focus for the Opposition will be the new Agnipath scheme for military recruitment, which has faced widespread protests from young people. Concerns about job security and pension benefits under the scheme have prompted these demonstrations.
The upcoming Monsoon Session will mark the first utilization of the new Parliament building, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in May 2022.
The Opposition’s unity will face a test during the Monsoon Session. Effective collaboration among the Opposition parties will be essential for their protests against the government. However, given the diverse interests of different opposition parties, their ability to unite effectively remains uncertain.
