  • 18th Lok Sabha Inaugural Session To Witness Fireworks Over Speaker Election, NEET Row |

    Monday marks the start of the 18th Lok Sabha’s first session, during which freshly elected members of parliament, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will take the oath of office. The opposition is likely to corner the BJP-led NDA government on the June 26 Speaker election, debates about alleged paper leaks in NEET-UG and UGC-NET, and a dispute over the pro-tem Speaker’s appointment, therefore the first session is expected to be turbulent.

    Bhartruhari Mahtab, a legislator from the Bharatiya Janata Party, will take the oath of office as the acting Speaker of the Lok Sabha from President Droupadi Murmu. Mahtab will next ask Leader of the Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to swear in as a member of the House. 

    The Lok Sabha Speaker will be chosen on June 26. The address of President Droupadi Murmu to the joint session of both houses of Parliament is set for June 27.

    The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won 293 seats, the INDIA bloc won 234 seats, and the Congress held 99 seats. This is the first session of the 18th Lok Sabha following the general elections.
    In the meantime, a meeting of the newly elected Congress MPs has been arranged for today at 10 a.m. at the CPP office in Parliament.

    NEET Row To Shadow The Proceedings

    After the alleged irregularities in the medical entrance examination National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Undergraduate 2024 (NEET-UG), Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi targeted the BJP and said that they stand with the students.

    The row over the appointment of BJP leader Bhartruhari Mahtab as the pro-tem Speaker is expected to shadow the proceedings as opposition claimed that Congress Member K Suresh, who is the senior most member was disregarded by the government.

    Meanwhile, BJP MP Bhartruhari Mahtab, who has been appointed as the pro-tem Speaker, will administer the oath to newly elected members and oversee the proceedings of the House.

    The Congress has reacted sharply to the central government’s decision to appoint seven-term BJP MP Bhartruhari Mahtab as Pro-tem Speaker of Lok Sabha over senior-most Dalit MP Kodikkunnil Suresh of Congress, saying that the appointment by the BJP deviates from the traditional practice of appointing the senior member.

    Congress leader K Suresh said that there is an eighth-term MP in the House, but a seventh-term MP has been appointed as pro-tem Speaker.

  • “Immediately after census and delimitation elections..”: Home Minister Amit Shah in Lok Sabha

    New Delhi:

    During the debate on Women’s Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the Nari Shakti Vandan Bill is not a political agenda for BJP and Modi ji. He said that tomorrow will be written in golden letters in the history of the Indian Parliament. Yesterday, the bill to give rights to women, which was pending for years, was presented in the House. I want to thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that since Modi took oath as the Prime Minister, safety, respect and equal participation of women has been the life force of the government.

    Women empowerment is not a political issue for us: Home Minister

    Amit Shah said that with the passing of this bill the long fight for women’s rights will end. During G20, Prime Minister Modi presented the vision of women-led development to the whole world. The Union Home Minister said that for some parties, women empowerment can be a political agenda, for some parties the slogan of women empowerment can be a weapon to win elections, but for BJP, women empowerment is not a political issue but a question of humanity.

    Don’t give account of 60 years: Amit Shah

    Amit Shah said in the Lok Sabha amid opposition’s heckling that Amit Shah said that the opposition asks for accounts of 10 years from us, whereas they themselves do not give accounts of 60 years. He said that this is the fifth attempt to bring a women’s reservation bill. From Deve Gowda ji to Manmohan Singh ji, attempts were made to bring this bill four times…what was the reason that this bill could not be passed?

    On Rahul Gandhi’s statement regarding OBC Secretary, Amit Shah said that some people think that the country is run by the Secretary, whereas we believe that the country is run by the government. Amit Shah said that after the elections, both census and delimitation will be done, very soon the time will come when one-third of the mothers and sisters will be in the House.

    “If Wayanad gets reserved…”

    On the Women’s Reservation Bill, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that questions are being raised regarding OBC reservation, delimitation issue or census, I answer them all. First of all, there are three types of MPs in the existing Constitution, who come from General, SC and ST categories. We have made 33% reservation for women in these three categories. Now if one-third seats are to be reserved, then who will decide that seat? should we do? If Wayanad gets reserved then you will say that we have done politics.
