Monsoon Session enters last leg amid 'something big' buzz

Monsoon Session enters last leg amid 'something big' buzz

In India, Parliament is the place where leaders make laws together.

The leaders are meeting in a special session called the Monsoon Session.

That session is about to finish its last week, and the government and opposition are still arguing.

The opposition wants the Home Minister to explain what happened when police acted against student protesters.

They also want the Prime Minister to talk about missing donation money at a famous temple called Ram Mandir.

The government may bring new rules about foreign donations, called the FCRA.

It also wants to change how many seats each region gets in Parliament.

The goal is to make sure that 33 out of every 100 lawmakers are women.

Many opposition leaders say these big changes should be discussed and agreed on first.

Some worry that changing the seats would make southern states less powerful.
