Monsoon Session: Congress issues whip to MPs ahead of key Parliament business
Aug-07-2026

The Congress has issued a whip to its Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha MPs, asking them to ensure their presence in their respective houses on August 10, 11 and 12, citing that ‘very important’ matters will be taken up for discussion.

The whip, issued by Chief Whip Jairam Ramesh, said, ‘All Members of Congress Party in the Rajya Sabha are requested to kindly remain present in the House from 11.00 am onwards till the adjournment of the House on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, i.e. August 10, 11 and 12, 2026, without fail and support the party stand. This may be treated as most important’. An identical whip was issued to Congress members in the Lok Sabha.

Congress has further communicated to all INDIA bloc allies to ensure the presence of their MPs for the three days. This comes as the government is scheduled to take up the FCRA Amendment Bill and is considering reintroducing the Constitution Amendment Bill on delimitation. However, while listing the tentative government business for next week, minister of state for parliamentary affairs made no mention of either the FCRA Amendment Bill or the Constitution Amendment Bill on delimitation.

Pertinently, the Centre is set to table the proposed amendments to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) next week, Opposition parties are weighing their floor strategy on participating in the debate.
