FM Sitharaman to present Supplementary Demands for Grants for J&K in Rajya Sabha today

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present Supplementary Demands for Grants for the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir in Rajya Sabha today.

Both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were adjourned on Monday until 11 a.m. on Tuesday amid a commotion caused by opposition members led by the Congress party, who demanded an apology from Rahul Gandhi for his speech in London. According to the records, approximately 26 Bills are currently pending for passage in the Rajya Sabha and nearly nine in the Lok Sabha.

In the upcoming session, the government may introduce the long-awaited Personal Data Protection Bill.

Amongst the Bills pending in the Rajya Sabha three Bills have already been passed by Lok Sabha including The Inter-State River Water Disputes (Amendment) Bill, 2019, The Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Third Amendment) Bill, 2022 and The Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Fifth Amendment) Bill, 2022.

Bills that haven’t been referred to any parliamentary scrutiny and are pending for passage include The Tamil Nadu Legislative Council (Repeal) Bill, 2012, The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies (Third) Bill, 2013, The Delhi Rent (Repeal) Bill, 2013 and The Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2019.

The Rajya Sabha’s proceedings were disrupted on Monday as the House adjourned for the day amid uproar over Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on democracy in India in London, with the government seeking his apology and the Opposition party objecting to the rulings.

The Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar announced the House’s second adjournment as members of both the treasury benches and the opposition continued to raise slogans against each other, causing a ruckus.
