Like previous parliamentary sessions held over the past one-and-a-half year, the upcoming session will be held in adherence to Covid-19 protocols, a report said. Last year, the winter session could not be held due to the onslaught of the pandemic, which had witnessed the curtailment of the Budget and the Monsoon sessions. This time, the session will have about 20 sittings. The session is likely to be stormy with the Opposition all set to corner the Narendra Modi-led government on issues like inflation, militant attacks on civilians in Kashmir, the Lakhimpur Kheri violence and the farmers’ protests against three centrally passed agri laws.Both Houses of Parliament — Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha – will hold proceedings simultaneously and members would have to follow social distancing norms.
