Uncertainty over bills as Cong vows to resist
In the final days of the Monsoon session, the future of crucial bills on women's reservation, delimitation, and the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) remains unclear due to ongoing deadlock in Parliament. The Congress and a majority of its allies have pledged their opposition to these legislative proposals and the FCRA Amendment Bill.
The Constitution Amendment Bill, which advocates for 33 percent women's reservation in the Lok Sabha, was rejected in April due to lack of two-thirds majority. The opposition argues that the proposed legislation threatens minorities and NGOs, insisting they will not permit its passage. FCRA bill, aimed at tightening supervision of foreign-funded organizations, has garnered strong opposition from Christian organizations and political parties.
Amidst protests by opposition parties demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on police action against students, and the NEET paper leaks issue, the Monsoon session of Parliament seems destined for a near-total cancellation.
