Background
Parliament Monsoon Session Live: 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.
Meanwhile, 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.
Reacting to his statement, AAP leader Raghav Chadha tweeted in Hindi: "Lagegi aag to aaenge ghar kaee jad mein, yahaan pe sirph hamaara makaan thodee hai. [If a fire breaks out, many houses will be engulfed by the blaze, not just my home.]"
