NEW DELHI: President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday arrived at the new Parliament building in the traditional horse-drawn buggy to deliver her address to the joint sitting of both Houses.
Flanked by guards on horses, President Murmu was received by Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla upon her arrival.
The traditional buggy made a comeback after 40 years when President Murmu and her French counterpart Emmanuel Macron arrived for the Republic Day parade at the majestic Kartavya Path.
Upon the President’s arrival, the ‘Sengol’ was also installed in the House followed by a procession. PM Modi had installed the golden spectre in the Lok Sabha chamber after performing rituals on May 28, 2023.
Meanwhile, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the interim budget on February 1.
On Tuesday, the Central government held a meeting under the chairmanship of defence minister Rajnath Singh with floor leaders of political parties ahead of the interim budget session of the Parliament.
In his opening address, Union minister for parliamentary affairs Pralhad Joshi informed that the session will majorly be devoted to the Financial Business relating to Interim Union Budget for the year 2024-25 and discussion on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address, however essential legislative and other business will also be taken up during this session.
He also stated that presentation and discussion on interim budget of Jammu & Kashmir for 2024-25 along with supplementary demands for grants of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir for 2023-24 will also be taken up and voted.
