Parliamentary Deadlock Persists as Rijiju Meets Rahul Gandhi
Parliamentary Logjam Continues:
The Indian Parliament Monsoon Session has sunk deeper into a deadlock, entering its 13th consecutive day of disruptions. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju met with Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday to break the legislative impasse and discuss pending legislative business.
Key Legislative Disputes:
Discussions during the high-level meeting centered on the proposed delimitation Bill and the Foreign Contribution Regulation Amendment Bill. Rijiju dismissed speculation regarding a special parliamentary session scheduled for August to fast-track the delimitation and women reservation Bills, clarifying that no such proposal exists.
Demands and Partial Passage:
The Opposition insisted on a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah regarding police actions against NEET paper leak protesters and a discussion on Ram Temple donation irregularities before allowing normal House functions. Despite continuous disruptions, the Rajya Sabha passed the Supreme Court Judges Amendment Bill to increase judicial strength to 38, while the Lok Sabha cleared the Bankers Books Evidence Bill by voice vote.
