In the Budget session, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha would have 30 and 27 sittings respectively between June 17 and July 26.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during the all-party meeting in Parliament, told the floor leaders of different parties to keep political differences aside and not disrupt the functioning of the two Houses. He also urged all political parties to work cohesively with the government for a smooth functioning of the Parliament.

Modi and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi had invited Presidents of all parties with representation in Parliament on June 19 and MPs from both the Houses on June 20 to freely interact and exchange views with the government.
