# Rijiju Rules Out Special Session on Delimitation, Women’s Reservation Bills 2026-08-06T17:37:54+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has denied any proposal to extend the Monsoon Session or hold a special sitting from August 16 to 18 for the Delimitation and Women’s Reservation Bills. The session is scheduled to end on August 13. Rijiju met Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi to discuss delimitation and the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, in an effort to ease repeated disruptions. Congress MP K C Venugopal said the Opposition had received no information about a special session and questioned its purpose. The Lok Sabha was adjourned on Wednesday after protests prevented Question Hour and debate on the Bankers’ Books Evidence Bill, which was passed by voice vote. Livemint reports that six bills have cleared the Lok Sabha, four without debate. Times Now News reports that the government may seek passage of the FCRA amendment during the current session, with Home Minister Amit Shah expected to take part in the debate. ## Coverage - livemint.com - livemint.com - timesnownews.com Tags: delimitation, Kiren Rijiju, Opposition protests, Parliament, women’s reservation Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/rijiju-denies-special-parliament-session-on-delimitation-womens-bills/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
