The fifth day of the winter session is all set to commence in parliament, with heightened anticipation surrounding the tabling of the ethics panel report on TMC MP Mahua Moitra in the Lok Sabha today.
Earlier on Thursday, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman addressed the Rajya Sabha on the fourth day of the winter session, emphasising India's position as the fastest-growing major economy. Sitharaman noted the substantial contribution of all sectors to economic activities, highlighting the remarkable growth in the second quarter, which she stated was the highest globally. The Lok Sabha concurrently passed the Central Universities (Amendment) Bill, 2023. Both houses are scheduled to reconvene tomorrow at 11 am.
In a separate development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a standing ovation at the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting, acknowledging the party's significant victories in three assembly polls. BJP MPs expressed their support through slogans praising the Prime Minister's leadership.
