NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan has called a meeting of House leaders of all political parties on Sunday, a day before the start of Parliament’s Budget Session during which the Government and the opposition are likely to clash over a host of issues, including the triple talaq bill.

A similar meeting is also likely to be called by the Government on the eve of the session during which Prime Minister Narendra Modi and top opposition leaders are expected to express their mind on a host of pertinent issues, which they would like to be taken up in the session.

The first leg of the session will continue between January 29 and February 9 during which the Government will present the economic survey on January 29 followed by the Union Budget on February 1.

The session will, however, begin with President Ram Nath Kovind’s address to a joint sitting of members of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. (AGENCIES)
