On Monday, April 13, 2026, the Congress party issued a three-line whip to all its Lok Sabha members. This directive mandates their presence and support for the party's official position during an upcoming three-day special session of Parliament. The session, scheduled to commence on April 16, has been convened by the government to address two primary legislative matters.
The agenda includes amending the Constitution to facilitate the implementation of the women’s reservation law, alongside initiating a delimitation exercise based on the 2011 Census data. The government has indicated its intention to implement the women’s reservation law in the 2029 Lok Sabha election, following the completion of this delimitation process.
