The monsoon session of the Madhya Pradesh Assembly begins on July 19 and is scheduled to continue until July 24. One of the key developments expected during the sitting is the possible tabling of the proposed Uniform Civil Code, or UCC, bill.
The likely introduction of the UCC bill has put added focus on this short but significant assembly session. If brought forward, the proposal could become one of the most closely watched items on the legislative agenda in the state.
The session is also set to be busy on procedural and policy fronts. A total of 1,756 questions and 267 notices have been submitted, indicating that members are preparing to raise a wide range of issues during the proceedings.
With both regular assembly business and the possibility of a major bill being taken up, the July 19-24 session is expected to draw strong political attention in Madhya Pradesh.
