Winter session likely from new Parliament building, says Om Birla

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has said that the winter session would likely begin in the new Parliament building.

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, on Sunday, June 19, said that the winter session of the sabha will likely be in the new Parliament building.

"Our endeavour is to start the winter session in the new building of Parliament and the new building will clearly show the picture of a self-reliant India," Birla said.

Back in May, the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee had appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to name the new Parliament building after former President APJ Abdul Kalam to send a 'message' about the country's communal harmony.
