PM to reply on motion of thanks in Parliament on Monday

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to reply on Monday on the motion of thanks on the President's address. However, in a digression from the tradition, the PM may speak in the Rajya Sabha and not in the lower House.

Both the Houses of Parliament have seen repeated adjournments over the three contentious farm laws.

The Rajya Sabha, which following COVID-19 protocols meets for five hours daily, has been dispensed with the scheduled Question Hour, Zero Hour and Private Member Business for the 15-hour discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President's address.

Meanwhile, the Congress has issued a whip to its Rajya Sabha MPs to be present in the House till its dispersal for the day.
