Parliament Monsoon Session HIGHLIGHTS: Hello and welcome to the live blog on the Parliament's monsoon session.
The last week of Parliament's monsoon session begins on Monday with lawmakers having some key tasks at hand. The Parliament will be taking up discussion on the no-confidence motion that has been brought by the opposition parties against the ruling alliance over the Manipur issue. BJP has already issued a whip to its members to be present in the House from August 7-11, when the trust vote will be discussed.
Supreme Court's order staying Rahul Gandhi's conviction will also be taken up by the opposition leaders to reinstate him as an MP.
Centre also offered to discuss the issue of Manipur on August 11, which the opposition bloc rejected seeking early discussion on Tuesday. Notably, August 11 is the last day of the monsoon session of Parliament. The Delhi services bill will also be tabled in the Rajya Sabha for passage.
Last week, the Lok Sabah passed the Bill to replace the ordinance on Delhi services amid a walkout by the opposition leaders.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah had taken up the matter in the Lok Sabha for discussion. Initiating the debate, Amit Shah said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was opposing the Delhi Services Bill as it wanted to hide its corruption and urged the other Opposition parties to think of people's welfare.
As the Opposition questioned the power of Parliament to make laws for the Delhi government, Amit Shah clarified that the Constitution, under Article 239AA, granted such powers.
"The problem with the Bill is not about control of transfer and postings of officers, but to hide the truth of the bungalow worth crores by gaining control over vigilance and to hide the truth about the corruption that has taken place," news agency PTI quoted the union minister as saying.
On the other hand, the Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday took a jibe at the YSR Congress Party after its Lok Sabha leader PV Midhun Reddy said that the party's support to the Centre's GNCTD (Amendment) Bill was subject to the condition that the Act is not replicated in other states.
"I request the government to take all stakeholders into consideration. I also have a request. This is a unique bill and I hope it is not replicated in other States. With these words, YSRCP supports this bill," Reddy said in Lok Sabha on Thursday.
