Government will hold a session of Parliament in the first fortnight of February to pass the Vote on Account. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath told reporters in New Delhi on the sidelines of a function that the session will be of duration of about 15 days or ten sittings. However, he said the government is still deciding on the business for the session. Mr. Nath said the government also plans to pass some crucial anti-corruption legislations which are a part of the Congress and the UPA government's agenda to address the issue. He said these bills will come up for discussion and passage in this session. The Minister, however , dismissed the view that government wants to pass these Bills in view of the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Our correspondent reports that Whistleblowers Protection Bill, Judicial Accountability Bill, Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill, Citizens Charter Bill, Timely Delivery of Services Bill and Public Procurement Bill are pending in Parliament.

The session will be a continuation of the Winter session as both Houses were not prorogued.
