Parliament Updates

Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) has become the third ally of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party - and arguably one of the more important - to raise concerns over the government's Waqf Amendment Bill.

Waqf Bill In Lok Sabha: The centre tabled the Waqf Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha Thursday and that triggered protests, as expected, from opposition MPs, who said the 44 changes a "grave attack on the Constitution" and a "draconian attack".

Waqf Bill In Lok Sabha: The Centre introduced the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024 in the Lok Sabha today to amend the Waqf Act, 1995.

Bangladesh is set to get an interim government headed by Nobel Peace Prize-winning economist Muhammad Yunus today, days after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was forced to resign amid violent student protests.

The bill aims to rename the Waqf Act, 1995, as the Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency and Development Act, 1995.

In his directive, the Home Department's Joint Secretary said that due to the prevailing law and order situation in Bangladesh, there is a likelihood of an influx of people from the neighbouring country into Manipur.

Sheikh Hasina quit as the Bangladesh Prime Minister this week and fled the country after violent protests demanding her resignation.

Air India will operate its scheduled flights from Delhi to Dhaka on Wednesday and is also likely to operate a special flight to bring back people from the Bangladesh capital, according to sources.

The government is in close touch with the nearly 19,000 Indian nationals - almost half of whom are students - in Bangladesh, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told Parliament Tuesday afternoon.

The Parliament's Budget Session resumes today with several key bills on the agenda, following a week of intense debates between opposition and ruling parties who are likely to again spar over several issues.

As the Parliament convenes for the ongoing Monsoon Session, the discussion regarding National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), unemployment, and regulation of airfares will be taken up in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha today.

Parliament Live Updates: Union Home Minister Amit Shah will introduce a bill to amend the Disaster Management Act, 2005, in both Houses of Parliament on Thursday.

The proceedings in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha are set to resume today. Both Houses are likely to witness storm over Union Budget.

The Opposition in Parliament demanded that the massive landslides that claimed 44 lives in Wayanad be declared a national disaster.

The discussion on the Union Budget will continue on Monday in both Houses of Parliament besides other businesses, including tabling of papers by various ministries, as per the Business Lists issued.
