Amid speculation that the government could convene a three-day session after Independence Day to push through the women’s reservation Bill and the delimitation Bill, Mr. Rijiju told The Hindu that “there is no such proposal”. Sources said Mr. Rijiju did not raise any proposal to extend the ongoing Monsoon Session or convene a Special Session during the nearly 50-minute meeting with Mr. Gandhi. The Wednesday (August 3) meeting was the second between Mr. Rijiju and Mr. Gandhi in the past 10 days. Sources said Mr. Shah was expected to reply to the debate when the FCRA Bill comes up for discussion and passage. The government is understood to be assessing the political support available for reviving the delimitation Bill, a Constitution amendment Bill requiring a two-thirds majority in Parliament.
