Speaking to mediapersons after the meeting, Tiwari said, "Before the Winter session, the Congress has urged the government that the US Department of Justice in New York has taken cognizance that a major industrial house here is not only controlling the industry but also controlling the government. As per the reports, the Adani Group has given bribes worth about Rs 2300 crore to the ruling party leaders and officials for various industries related to solar energy."
"We have asked to raise the Manipur issue...Rapes, murders are happening and there is no law and order in Manipur...There is unemployment in the country. All records have been broken. The issue of withdrawal of the forces should be taken up in the Parliament. I am also worried that the pollution situation in Northern India is becoming more and more serious," the Congress leader added.
During the session, the government could also look to introduce the 'One Nation One Election' bill.
Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted that his government was working towards achieving One Nation One Poll which will ensure simultaneous polls for Lok Sabha and state assemblies.
