Union Home Minister Amit Shah Tables 2 Jammu And Kashmir Bills For Passage In Rajya Sabha

Both the bills were passed by the Lok Sabha on December 6.

New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday moved the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 for consideration and passage in the Rajya Sabha.

Both the bills were passed by the Lok Sabha on December 6.

During a discussion on December 6 in the Lok Sabha, Amit Shah said the bills would give justice to those who were deprived of their rights for the last 70 years and asserted that reservation to the displaced people will give them a voice in the legislature.

"The Bills that I have brought here pertain to bringing justice to and providing rights to those against whom injustice was done, who were insulted and those who were ignored," he had said.

He said that in any society, those who are deprived should be brought forward and that is the basic sense of the Constitution of India.

“PM Modi is the only one who actually understood the pain of the people and worked tirelessly to reduce the same,” Shah had further stated.

The Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 would provide reservation in jobs and admission in professional institutions to members of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and other socially and educationally backward classes.

The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 seeks to nominate two members from the Kashmiri migrant community and one representing the displaced persons from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) to the Legislative Assembly.
