Parliament is expected to witness another week of heated exchanges as the Monsoon Session resumes on Monday, with the Centre preparing to push several important legislations while the Opposition gears up to intensify its attack over multiple political issues inside and outside both Houses.

The government is expected to seek the passage of at least six key Bills, while Opposition parties have planned coordinated protests over issues ranging from the alleged "Chanda Chori" controversy to demands for statements from Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Government to Push Key Legislation

The Centre is expected to take up several important Bills in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha during the week.

Among the Bills likely to be considered are:

• Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (Amendment) Bill

• Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill

• Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Bill

• Indian Statistical Institution Bill

• Bankers' Books Evidence Bill

• Appropriation Bill for Demands for Excess Grants (2022-23)

The Foreign Contribution Regulation (Amendment) Bill, though not part of the official legislative agenda, is also expected to be introduced in the Lok Sabha later this week after being deferred during the Budget Session.

However, there is no indication that the proposed Delimitation Bill will be introduced during the ongoing session.

Opposition Plans Coordinated Protest

Opposition parties have finalised a joint strategy to keep pressure on the government by raising different issues both inside Parliament and through demonstrations outside the House.

Leaders are expected to continue targeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah, while also highlighting the alleged "Chanda Chori" issue related to donations linked to the Ayodhya Ram Temple.

The Opposition is also expected to renew its demand for a statement from Shah over the reported police action against protesting students, including allegations regarding the use of pellet guns.

BJP Prepares Counterattack

The ruling BJP has also stepped up its political response.

Senior BJP MP Anurag Thakur has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, seeking breach of privilege proceedings against Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over remarks made in the House.

The BJP has also criticised the Opposition's demonstration near Parliament's Makar Dwar, where Independent MP Pappu Yadav staged a symbolic protest portraying a priest allegedly stealing donation money while Rahul Gandhi joined the demonstration.

Opposition leaders have defended the protest, saying they will continue using "creative" methods to raise public issues.

More Bills May Come Up

Apart from the listed Bills, the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill has reportedly been circulated among Members of Parliament, indicating it could also be taken up during the week.

Meanwhile, the Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Bill has already been passed by Parliament and has received the President's assent.

The Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill and the Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Bill have already been cleared by one House and are awaiting further legislative process.

High Political Stakes

With the government pushing ahead with its legislative agenda and the Opposition determined to keep politically sensitive issues in focus, both Houses are expected to witness frequent disruptions and sharp exchanges throughout the week.

The developments are likely to shape the remainder of the Monsoon Session, which is scheduled to continue until August 21.
