During the session, which will run until July 3, President Droupadi Murmu is expected to address a joint sitting of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha on June 27. This address is anticipated to outline the government’s agenda and roadmap for the next five years.
Mr. Rijiju shared this information through a post on social media platform X, highlighting the key activities planned for the session, including the election of the Speaker and discussions on the President’s address.
The 264th Session of the Rajya Sabha is also slated to commence on June 27 and conclude on July 3.
