The last day of the Budget session of Parliament on Saturday is expected to be a stormy one, with the Lok Sabha likely to discuss the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
According to a Lok Sabha Secretariat bulletin, senior BJP leader Satyapal Singh will initiate the discussion on the construction of the temple and 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony. Shiv Sena member Shrikant Shinde, too, has given a notice for a discussion on the issue.
The budget session of Parliament, the last of the 17th Lok Sabha, began on January 31 and will conclude on Saturday.
The BJP has issued a whip to its MPs in Lok Sabha as well as Rajya Sabha to ensure their presence in Parliament on Saturday on account of some "very important" legislative business, which will be tabled for discussion and passage.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had attended the consecration ceremony at the temple on January 22. The BJP believes that the temple issue will help create a positive atmosphere in its favour in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, which are expected to be held in April-May this year.
The Congress, too, has issued a whip to its MPs in the Lok Sabha to ensure their presence in the House on Saturday.
The parliamentary leaders of the constituents of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) will meet at Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge's office in the morning before the parliamentary proceedings start.
