Second half of Budget Session to begin on Monday

Date:

The second half of the Budget Session of Parliament will begin on Monday and is expected to be stormy with the Congress attacking the NDA government on a range of issues, including Delhi riots and India’s economy.

The government is expected to push its legislative agenda that includes Bills relating to surrogacy and resolution of disputed tax.

Congress has accused the Central and Delhi governments of failing to contain the violence that erupted in parts of northeast Delhi and demanded the resignation Union Home Minister Amit Shah, which supervises Delhi Police. Forty-two persons have been killed in the clashes in the national capital that began on Sunday, February 24.

Sources said a meeting was held at the residence of Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday which discussed party’s strategy to corner the government in Parliament on Delhi violence.

On the other hand, the BJP has accused Congress of “politicising” the violence and said there was “instigation” by opposition leaders to protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.

Apart from Finance Bill 2020, Aircraft (Amendment) Bill and The Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Bill were among the legislation introduced in the first half of the Budget Session that concluded on February 11.
