Key bills to be taken up in Monsoon session of Parliament

Under attack from the Opposition and an 'unhappy' ally, trouble seems to be escalating for the Narendra Modi government as it gets ready to bring in and pass some key bills in the Monsoon session of Parliament. Ahead of the session, the Prime Minister also reached out to opposition parties asking them to let the House function.
