'Stormy' Winter session of Parliament set to begin from Thursday

New Delhi, Nov 14 : The Winter session of Parliament will begin from Thursday, which is expected to be one of the 'stormy' session owing to the debates on issues like Nandigram violence, Indo-US civil nuke deal and the problems faced by farmers.

The alleged wheat imports scam is also expected to generate a lot of heat in both the Houses of the Parliament.

The nuclear deal which paralysed proceedings during the monsoon session may not generate that much heat and a move is afoot for a discussion on the issue at the beginning of the session.

The Left Front had agreed to debate on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's August 13 speech on the 123-agreement. The BJP also had expressed their readiness to take part in the debate in spite of it being not held under clauses that would have entailed voting.

However with the Nandigram violence flaring up in recent days and the forceful 'recapture' of the area by CPI (M) cadres that has already got a support from West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, the opposition BJP is likely to take the issue very strongly on the floor of the House.

The Left parties, especially the CPI (M), which provides outside support to the UPA Government, may find itself, cornered on the Nandigram violence issue.

The government is expected to be pilloried by the opposition over problems faced by farmers including that of minimum support prices for paddy and wheat imports as well as rising prices which was burdening the common man. (ANI)
