Parliament Monsoon Session to begin from July 20: Kiren Rijiju

Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Saturday that the Monsoon Session of the Parliament will begin from July 20 and will continue August 13, hoping for a positive debate on key issues pertaining to the nation.

Rijiju, who is also the Union Minority Affairs minister, said the decision to summon both Houses of the Parliament was taken after President Droupadi Murmu approved the recommendation of the central government. 

"The Session will commence on 20 July, 2026 and continue till 13 August, 2026 for meaningful debate, discussion



and decisions on issues of National Importance," Rijiju, a Lok Sabha member from Arunachal Pradesh, said in a post on X (previously Twitter).

This will be the first session of the Parliament following the splits in Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT). In the TMC, 20 out of 28 Lok Sabha members have rebelled against the party leadership and decided to support the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Similarly, six out of nine UBT's Lok Sabha MPs have joined Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena.
