NEW DELHI: Sonia Gandhi has summoned a meeting of the Congress Parliamentary Strategy Group scheduled for tomorrow in preparation for the upcoming special session of Parliament, according to party sources. This gathering comes shortly after Sonia Gandhi's recent discharge from Delhi's Sir Gangaram Hospital, where she had been admitted due to mild fever symptoms on Sunday.

The meeting's primary focus will revolve around the party's strategy to address and navigate the anticipated questions and issues that will arise during the Parliament Session. In addition to this, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has also called for a meeting of MPs from the INDIA alliance to deliberate on the strategy for this special parliamentary session.

Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi disclosed the news of a five-day special parliamentary session set to take place from September 18 to 22, although the specific agenda for this session has yet to be revealed. On a social media platform, Minister Joshi shared this information along with a picture showcasing both the old and new parliament buildings, the latter of which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 28.

Notably, the central government established an eight-member committee to examine and provide recommendations regarding the feasibility of simultaneous elections across the country. The committee's members include former President Kovind, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, former Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad, former Finance Commission Chairman NK Singh, former Lok Sabha Secretary General Subhash C Kashyap, prominent advocate Harish Salve, and former Chief Vigilance Commissioner Sanjay Kothari.

It's worth mentioning that the recent announcement of the Special Session took the political arena by surprise, especially as parties are gearing up for assembly polls in five states later this year. Typically, the winter session of Parliament commences in the last week of November.
