The Winter Session of Parliament, which began today, began the day’s proceedings with the parliamentarians paying homage to leaders who lost their lives this year.
The Lok Sabha was adjourned until 12 noon after offering tributes to sitting MP Mulayam Singh Yadav, and Telugu film actor Ghattamaneni Krishna along with other departed members. The Lok Sabha observed silence for two minutes to mourn the death of Krishna.
The Winter Session of Parliament, which commenced today, will continue until the 29th of this month. During the session, both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha will have 17 sittings and 16 bills are likely to be tabled in these sessions.
Superstar Krishna, who passed away on November 15 at the age of 79, also had a brief tryst with politics. He joined the Congress under Rajiv Gandhi’s leadership, contested in the 1989 elections from the Eluru Parliament Constituency, and won the seat.
He lost the elections in 1991 and stayed away from active politics after that. Tributes were paid to the departed leaders in the Rajya Sabha as well.
Krishna’s death deeply saddened Ghattamaneni’s family. Mahesh was moved to tears by the deaths of his elder brother, mother, and father.
This will be the inaugural session where Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar will officiate proceedings in the Rajya Sabha as the ex officio chairperson of the Upper House.
