New Delhi, October 12: A meeting of floor leaders of political parties in the Lok Sabha has been convened here by Speaker Meira Kumar on October 20 to ensure smooth functioning of the winter session of Parliament.
The winter session will commence on November 9, a day after US President Barrack Obama’s address before the members of Parliament.
The Speaker has convened the meeting against the backdrop of suggestions by leaders of various political parties in this regard.
Leaders of some parties, including Lalu Prasad of RJD and Mulayam Singh Yadav of Samajwadi Party, had held a mock Parliament during the monsoon session, a move which had come under attack from all around.
