The government has now officially announced that, considering the extraordinary situation due to the coronavirus pandemic, there will be no Winter Session of Parliament.  Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Prahlad Joshi said in a letter to Congressional floor leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury of Lok Sabha, given the current situation, it would not be feasible to hold the Winter Session and it would be clubbed with the budget session that would commence at the end of January 2021. This was in response to a letter from Chowdhury urging the government to hold a session to repeal the farm laws that farmers have been protesting for more than two weeks.  Top government sources told  that in the midst of the increasing number of Covid19 cases in the national capital, the same leaders and political parties who recently spoke to the government had expressed their reservations about holding a Parliament session. Similar requests were also made with the Lok Sabha Speaker and Rajya Sabha Chairman indicating that as Delhi witnessed a surge, it would be too much of a danger for MPs to fly. Government sources said this revealed the double speech of the Opposition before the nation.
