Winter session extended by 3 days



The winter session of Parliament, which was scheduled to end on Thursday, has been extended by three days from 27th December to discuss Lokpal Bill and other legislations.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal said this in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday while tabling the 33rd report of the Business Advisory Committee.

The Lokpal bill is expected to be introduced in the Lok Sabha on Thursday and would be taken up for discussion when Parliament reconvenes on 27th December after a four-day Christmas break.

Parliament is also expected to discuss the Whistleblowers Bill and the Judicial Accountability Bill during the extended session.
Opposition parties had sought discussion on the three key legislations that are part of the government's strategy to tackle corruption.
