The Statesman’s Shahid K Abbas had earlier reported that among the key legislations to be taken up during the Winter Session are the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2025, the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2025, and the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025.

The Winter Session agenda also includes the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Bill, and other significant measures that aim to reshape administrative and economic frameworks.

The turbulent Monsoon Session had ended on August 21 with both Houses adjourned sine die amid relentless disruptions. Opposition protests over issues such as the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar’s electoral rolls led to chaotic scenes, including heated exchanges and torn documents as well as frequent adjournments. The Lok Sabha clocked just 37 hours of business, falling well short of the 120-hour target.
