Bills, scams to heat up Winter in Parliament
Will Obama save Congress?
Fresh off the successful visit of Barack Obama, Congress can only hope that the American President's assurances on backing India for a permanent seat in UN Security Council (UNSC) and to bring the perpetrators of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack to justice will take some heat off them.
Bills
The government is expected to bring up the following bills during the winter session -
- The Women"s Reservation Bill, officially the Constitution (108th Amendment) Bill, 2008, which seeks to reserve one-third of all seats for women in Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies.

Scams
Meanwhile, the Opposition hopes to mount pressure on the government over the Adarsh society housing scam, seeking the removal of the allegedly tainted Chief Minister Ashok Chavan.
The Parliament is also expected to be shaken by the cries against the corruption that marred the Commonwealth Games 2010, hosted in Delhi.
The alleged irregularities in the 2G spectrum scam and Telecom Minister A Raja's involvement in it, besides issues of internal security and Maoism are also expected to crop up.
After a total of 24 sittings, the winter session will conclude on Dec 13, 2010.
