As the Parliament is set to convene for Day 11 of the ongoing Winter Session on Thursday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will move the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2023 in Rajya Sabha for its consideration and passage.
The Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2023 seeks to reserve 33 per cent of seats in the Puducherry Assembly for women. The legislation has already been passed in Lok Sabha on Tuesday.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will move two appropriation bills, The Appropriation (No.3) Bill, 2023 and The Appropriation (No.4) Bill, 2023. Both bills have been passed in the Lok Sabha earlier.
Meanwhile, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi has moved the adjournment motion in Lok Sabha to discuss yesterday’s security breach in Parliament.
On the 22nd anniversary of the Parliament terror attack, a major security breach occurred when two intruders entered the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitor gallery during Zero Hour. In a security breach in Lok Sabha, two men jumped into the House from the visitors’ gallery, holding canisters in their hands. They released yellow gas from canisters and shouted slogans before being overpowered by MPs.
The Winter session began on December 4 and will culminate on December 22.
