New Delhi: Parliament’s Monsoon Session will start on July 20 and continue till August 11, parliamentary affairs minister Pralhad Joshi said on Saturday, July 1.

The Monsoon Session is expected to commence in the old parliament building and later move to the new building, sources told PTI. The new building was inaugurated by Modi on May 28.

“Monsoon Session, 2023 of Parliament will commence from July 20 and continue till August 11. Urge all parties to contribute towards productive discussions on legislative business and other items during the session,” Joshi tweeted.

The session will be spread across 23 days and will have 17 sittings, he said in another tweet in Hindi.

The Narendra Modi-led government is expected to introduce the Uniform Civil Code during the Monsoon Session.

During the session, the government is also likely to bring a Bill to replace the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Ordinance.

The Ordinance effectively nullified the Supreme Court judgment that gave the Delhi government greater legislative and administrative control over “services” matter.

The National Research Foundation Bill, cleared by the Union Cabinet, is also likely to be introduced.
