Rijiju Responds to Kharge on Delimitation Bill Consultations and Parliament Prorogation
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju responded to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's call for an all-party meeting on the Delimitation Amendment Bill, stating the government had repeatedly sought Congress's cooperation but received no dates for discussions. Rijiju noted consultations with other opposition parties, including DMK and SP, and rejected claims of procedural irregularity over Parliament not being prorogued since August. Kharge plans to discuss concerns on delimitation, electoral roll revision, and women's reservation with Prime Minister Modi on October 21. Congress questions the government's refusal to convene an all-party meeting and the handling of the bill.
