Parliament today enters its fifth day of proceedings for the monsoon session.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh made a statement in the Lok Sabha yesterday stating that a high level commission was being set up by the government to look into the issue of "mob lynching", the recommendations of which would go forward to the Prime Minister through a group of ministers headed by the Home Minister himself.
The Lok Sabha yesterday passed the The Negotiable Instruments (Amendments) Bill and the The National Council for Teacher Education (Amendment) Bill. The Rajya Sabha on the other hand passed held discussions on the The Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill. The bill looks to amend the 1998 Act to address issues such as third party insurance, regulation of taxi aggregators, and road safety.
On the docket today in Lok Sabha for consideration and passing are the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill, and in the Rajya Sabha the Fugitive Economic Offenders Bill which has been passed by the Lok Sabha will be taken up and a discussion on the non implementation of the provisions of Andhra Pradesh Re-organization Act, 2014 is also scheduled.
Here are the Highlights from the fifth day of the monsoon session in Parliament:
The commitments made in parliament should be fulfilled by any government, this government is fulfilling them and shall continue to so.
Mr Singh also said that the Special State status was promised to Andhra Pradesh by the former Prime Minister but the 14th Finance Commission's recommendations were conflicting with it and so the centre and state had both agreed about special assistance to Andhra Pradesh instead of Special State category status.

Noting that the Supreme Court had last week asked for a law banning mob lynching, she asked what the government has done to check such incidents. Her question was supported by many opposition members who raised their hands to associate themselves with the raised issue.
