Parliament HIGHLIGHTS: Delhi Services Bill 'Against India's Basic Structure', Owaisi Says

Background

Parliament Monsoon Session HIGHLIGHTS: Hello and welcome to the live blog on the Parliament's monsoon session.

The uproar over the violence in Manipur continues in Parliament as new Bills are introduced and passed. While the Opposition is standing fast on its demand that Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaks on the Manipur violence on the floor of the House, the BJP says that the Opposition is "running away" from a debate on the issue.

The Opposition earlier moved a no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha against the government over the Manipur issue. Based on this, the AAP and the Congress have voiced their concerns regarding the legislative proceedings in the Lok Sabha after the acceptance of a no-confidence motion. AAP leader Raghav Chadha urged the Speaker not to discuss any bills until the trust vote is taken up, given the ongoing uproar over the Manipur issue and the passage of bills in the lower house.

Congress MP Manish Tewari, too, said that all bills passed subsequent to the acceptance of the no-confidence motion are "constitutionally suspect". He claimed the very legality of all the legislations which have been passed in the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha after the no-confidence motion was admitted would have to be examined by a court of law as to whether they were legally passed or not.

However, Bills continue to be introduced and passed despite the Opposition's objections.

Amid massive uproar and multiple adjournments, the Bill to replace the Delhi services ordinance was introduced in Lok Sabha by a voice vote. Union Minister Nityanad Rai on Tuesday tabled the controversial Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, on Tuesday. 

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that Constitution has given the House power to pass any law regarding the state of Delhi. "Supreme Court has clarified that Parliament can bring any law regarding the state of Delhi. All objection is political. Please permit me to bring this bill," he said.

Parliament Live Updates: AAP leader Raghav Chadha on Amit Shah's speech in Lok Sabha

"Rather than mentioning about statements of Pandit Nehru, Sardar Patel and BR Ambedkar, he (Amit Shah) should see statements of his own party leaders made during 1980s-90s. Lal Krishna Advani had brought Delhi Statehood Bill in 2003 aiming to give Delhi the status of a full-fledged state," says AAP leader Raghav Chadha on Union Home minister Amit Shah's speech in Lok Sabha during debate over Delhi services bill.
