New Delhi: President Draupadi Murmu has approved four bills passed during the tumultuous monsoon session of Parliament. The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, the Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Bill, the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, and the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill have now been cleared to become law.
At least two of these bills, which have now become laws, were strongly opposed by opposition parties.According to NDTV, the central government’s control over services in the national capital is a move against the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government on Delhi’s bureaucracy. Control is pulled.
This was strongly opposed by the India group of the opposition. And when it was put to vote in the House, the MPs of the opposition party walked out of the Parliament. Home Minister Amit Shah defended the government’s proposed law.
He had said that ‘this ordinance refers to the order of the Supreme Court which says that the Parliament has the right to make laws on any issue related to the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
There are provisions in the Constitution that allow the Center to make laws for Delhi. Earlier, after eight years of tussle between the Center and the Arvind Kejriwal government, the Supreme Court had ruled that the elected government is the boss of Delhi.
131 MPs voted in favor and 102 MPs voted against the bill, while the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Bill was passed by voice vote. At the same time, some amendments demanded by the opposition also fell by voice vote.
