The government plans to convene a special session of Parliament to consider two major legislative proposals: bills related to delimitation and the bill providing a women’s reservation quota. According to reports, the session is scheduled for August 16 to 18. One outlet also reports the possibility of calling a special session specifically around August 17 for the delimitation and women’s quota bills, indicating that the agenda includes these measures during the same period. The bills are expected to be taken up for discussion and possible passage during this session. The reports do not indicate any alternative schedule, changes to the proposed dates, or details on the legislative steps to be taken on each bill. The announcements therefore place the focus of the special session on advancing these two subjects, which are seen as central to electoral and representation policy. The government’s decision to use a special session suggests an intent to prioritize timely parliamentary consideration of the delimitation process and the women’s reservation measure.
