With this, the Indian Nursing Council Act of 1947 will be abolished. Apart from this, the government is preparing to bring Cantonment Bill 2022, Old Grant Regulation Bill and Coastal Aquaculture Authority Amendment Bill.

Congress is against three bills
Out of the 16 bills listed by the government, the Congress party is strongly against three.

In the present form these Bills cannot be discussed and the Congress Party does not support them.

Rahul Gandhi will not attend the session
Jairam Ramesh has said that Congress MP Rahul Gandhi will not be able to attend the winter session of this Parliament as he will be busy with Bharat Jodo Yatra at that time. The Congress says that Rahul Gandhi does not want to leave the yatra midway and go anywhere. This is the reason why Rahul Gandhi did not go to rally for Himachal assembly elections. However, Congress included the names of 40 big leaders including Rahul and Sonia Gandhi in the list of star campaigners.

Rahul Gandhi is on Bharat Jodo Yatra for the last 85 days. So he will not attend the winter session.
