"I can't comment on any business in terms of priority until and unless the matter is passed by the BAC (Business Advisory Committee) with the approval of the chair. It is difficult to make an announcement outside," he added.

Live Events
The session will continue till August 21, with no sittings on August 13 and 14 due to Independence Day celebrations.
Among the leaders present were Congress MPs K Suresh and Jairam Ramesh, Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde, Union Minister Anupriya Patel, NCP-SCP MP Supriya Sule, BJP MP Ravi Kishan, and others.
The meeting also witnessed the participation of representatives from the Samajwadi Party (SP), YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), Janata Dal (United), All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), Communist Party of India (Marxist), and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK).
Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) MP Mahua Maji, who also attended the meeting, expressed concern about the treatment her state, Jharkhand, receives from the central government. Despite being rich in minerals, she pointed out that Jharkhand is one of the poorest states in India.
Speaking to ANI, Mahua Maji said, "Jharkhand is a very rich state, it has lots of minerals, but it is among the three poorest states. Unfortunately, the Centre is giving step-motherly treatment to Jharkhand... We want our state to be supported, so it becomes easy for our government to implement the schemes for farmers, women and the schemes that we have started."
The upcoming Monsoon session will be the first Parliament session following Operation Sindoor, which was launched by India on May 7 in response to a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives.

Why is NDA ally Chirag Paswan upset with Nitish Kumar govt in Bihar?
With months to go for assembly polls in Bihar, Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram-Vilas) leader Chirag Paswan has been vocal in his criticism of the Nitish Kumar-led NDA government over the law and order situation in the state. New Delhi: Union Minister Chirag Paswan during the first day of the Monsoon session of Parliament, in New Delhi, Monday, July 21, 2025.(PTI) Following the gang-rape of a woman inside an ambulance while she was being taken to a hospital in Gaya, Paswan said he is "saddened to support such a government" which has failed to curtail the rising crime in the state. Without mincing words, Chirag said, "The way crime is happening in Bihar, the administration has totally bowed down in front of the criminals." Also Read: 'Feel sad to support…': Chirag Paswan's fresh attack at Nitish govt in Bihar "Why are such incidents like murder, loot, dacoit, rape, one after another, happening in Bihar? It looks like the government is totally unsuccessful in curtailing these incidents. If this keeps going on, then it will create a very frightening situation in our state," Paswan said. "Either the administration is in collusion with it, or the administration has become completely useless...I feel ashamed that I am supporting such a government, under which crime has gotten out of control," the LJP leader alleged. The criticism comes after a female candidate participating in the Home Guard recruitment race fainted during the event and was gang-raped by two while being transported to the hospital. However, this is not the first time he launched an attack at the Nitish Kumar-led government. Also Read: 'Morale of criminals is sky-high': Chirag Paswan hits out at Nitish govt over Bihar's law and order Last week, Chirag, while responding to a murder inside Paras hospital in Patna, said the "morale of criminals is sky-high." "The attack inside Paras hospital in Patna's residential neighbourhood proves that criminals are openly challenging the law and administration,' he added. The Hajipur MP was responding to gangster Chandan Mishra's murder, who was shot inside Patna's Paras Hospital while he was out on parole for treatment. Why is Chirag upset with the Nitish government? In recent months, Chirag Paswan, who is an ally in the NDA government at Centre, that he is not happy with the Nitish government over the law and order situation. The criticism from the NDA ally comes amid a series of shooting incidents in the state, which is heading for assembly elections in a few months. While Chandan Mishra was shot dead inside a hospital, Gopal Khemka, a businessman, was also fatally shot outside his residence in a posh Patna locality. Another BJP leader, Vikram Jha, was shot by an unknown attacker in Patna. Two more incidents of murder also took place this month, where a lawyer and a teacher were killed in separate incidents. Reacting to the incidents on June 12, Chirag asked, 'How many more murders will Biharis face now? It is beyond understanding what the responsibility of the Bihar Police is.' The criticism of the Nitish government comes as the LJP (RV) leader has announced that his party will contest all 243 seats in the upcoming elections. In the 2020 assembly elections, Chirag's party chose to contest Bihar elections outside the NDA alliance. Though his party chose to skip seats where the BJP was contesting, the LJP candidates fought on the seat where Nitish Kumar's JD(U) was contesting, in a bid to target the BJP votes in his favour. The party won only one seat in the Bihar assembly, but managed to limit the JD(U) to merely 43 seats.

India-UK FTA: Win-win for both; biggest beneficiary will be our services sector, says Piyush Goyal
Delhi: On the India-UK FTA, Union Minister Piyush Goyal says, "...The biggest benefit that this FTA provides is to the services sector. They were sending their employees to serve in the UK for 2-3 years, and during that period, nearly 25% of the employees' income was being paid into the National Security Program, their pension program. But because these people did not stay there for 10 years, which was the minimum required to get the benefits of the pension, the money they were paying was lost... So even at a low 60,000-pound earning, they were losing 15,000 pounds, which is about Rs 18 lakhs per year... Now they can pay that same amount into the Provident fund account in India. So it becomes their saving, it is not money lost, and that will become their pension or their security for the future. It will also earn them over 8% tax-free interest in their Provident fund account. So they don't have to pay anything extra, the savings that will happen because of the double contribution convention agreement... It's a level playing field now, just like the UK employees can get a pension, our people will pay in India and get a pension or security in India. So it's a level playing field even for the UK. It's fair that the money should not be lost for people who are serving to help the UK economy. It's a win-win for both, and I've always said an agreement can only work when it's a win-win for both countries..." Show more Show less

Bihar: Jitan Ram Manjhi urges Chirag Paswan to remain aligned with NDA
Union Minister and HindustAwam Morcha (Secular) leader Jitan Ram Manjhi has urged fellow Union Minister Chirag Paswan to remain aligned with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and contribute to its strengthening following the latter's criticism of the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government over "detoriating" law and order situation in the State. Addressing reporters in Patna, Manjhi said, "We are in NDA. We have to help NDA. We wish him all the best. He should strengthen the NDA." Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category In a significant remark, Manjhi referred to Paswan's political stance in the 2020 Bihar Assembly elections and urged not to repeat confrontations like past. "If he does not adopt the 2020 policy, it will be a very good thing," said, Manjhi. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Glīd Secures $3.1 Million in pre-seed Funding to accelerate Its Autonomous Road-to-Rail Infrastructure Vision - TechBullion TechBullion Undo Highlighting the current importance of NDA at both the state and national levels, Manjhi asserted, "Today NDA has become necessary for the society and the country. Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar are doing all kinds of development. If someone opposes NDA, then I think he does not have good feelings towards the people of the state and the country and if work is being done to strengthen it, then we will appreciate it." Chirag Paswan had in his earlier remarks said that he is "saddened to support such a government," which is not able to curtail the rising crime rate. Live Events Paswan said he does believe that reports of incidents of rising crimes such as murders, looting and more are a "conspiracy" to defame the government ahead of the assembly elections. He also said that the responsibility ultimately lies with the state government itself to control law and order. "I also believe that these incidents are being carried out as a conspiracy to defame the government ahead of elections. But even then, the responsibility of controlling it lies with the administration. Either the administration is in collusion with it, or the administration has become completely useless, and now it is beyond their power to keep Bihar and Biharis safe," the Union Minister told reporters in Patna. "I request the Bihar government to take action on this matter in a timely manner. I feel ashamed that I am supporting such a government, under which crime has gotten out of control," he added. President of LJP (Ram Vilas), which is part of the ruling NDA alliance, said that it seems the Bihar government has "completely bowed down" in front of criminals, referencing the recent incident where a retired health department official was shot at by unknown assailants in Gaya district. Paswan said that if such incidents are curtailed, then it will create a frightening situation in the State. "The way there have been criminal incidents one by one, and the way the government has bowed its head down in front of criminals. It is true that the incident is as condemnable as embarrassing, and an arrest also happened. But why are such incidents like murder, loot, dacoit, rape, one after another, happening in Bihar? It looks like the government is totally unsuccessful in curtailing these incidents. If this keeps going on, then it will create a very frightening situation in our state," Paswan said.
