The Congress on Thursday claimed the government is planning to convene a special session of Parliament on June 25-26 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Emergency and accused the ruling side of trying to divert focus from the real issues by not agreeing to the Opposition party's demand for a special session to discuss the Pahalgam killings and Operation Sindoor.
"Now it appears that a special session of Parliament is being considered for June 25-26 to mark the 50th anniversary of Emergency. This will be yet another classic exercise in diversion and distraction from real and more urgent issues by the PM -- the man who has placed the nation under an undeclared Emergency for 11 years and the man who refuses to answer why the Pahalgam terrorists are still absconding, why he allowed President Trump to broker a ceasefire, and why he gave a clean chit to China publicly on June 19, 2020," said Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh.
