(Shutterstock)The situation in Jammu and Kashmir, economic slowdown, unemployment and the government's plan to bring the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill are some of the issues which are likely to emerge as flashpoints between the Opposition and treasury benches in the winter session of Parliament beginning Monday. Besides the passage of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, the government also plans to convert two crucial ordinances into law during the session. In the session beginning Monday, the government is set to push for the passage of the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, a key BJP plank which is aimed at granting nationality to non-Muslim immigrants from neighbouring countries. The government has listed the bill in its items of business for the session, official sources said. During the session, a special joint sitting of the both the Houses has been planned to mark Constitution Day on November 26.
