The sudden announcement of a special session of Parliament from September 18 to 22 has taken everyone by surprise. No agenda has been announced yet, leaving observers to speculate on the meaning of Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi's cryptic statement, "Amid Amrit Kal, looking forward to having fruitful discussion and debate in parliament."
"Fruitful discussion" failed completely in the recently ended monsoon session, and there is no clarity on why the special session will be any different. Will the special session discuss only "special issues" that will initiate a celebratory consensus?
