The Lok Sabha Secretariat has approved the merger of six rebel MPs, who broke away from Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena, into the Eknath Shinde‑led faction. This decision, endorsed by Speaker Om Birla, ends the disqualification threat against the MPs and strengthens Shinde’s camp in Parliament.
Parliament's Monsoon Session will run from July 20 to August 13 across 19 sittings. The session faces a shifting political landscape alongside a heavy legislative agenda, including the 'One Nation, One Election' Bill and ministerial detention laws.
