Lok Sabha MP and senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor strongly opposed the introduction of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and said that it is our right to oppose the bill.
Speaking to reporters in report by ANI , the Lok Sabha MP said, “A brief introduction on the Delhi (NCT) Ordinance Bill took place in the Parliament today. However, only an introduction was held and not a debate on it. It is our right to oppose the introduction and five to six members of the opposition tried to oppose it”.
“Although, one of the parties from the opposition supported the government. Others said that it is illegal and that the government is taking unconstitutional actions”, added Shashi Tharoor.
Notably, the bill to replace the ordinance for control of services in Delhi was introduced in Lok Sabha today. The controversial bill aims to replace an ordinance that granted the Centre control over Delhi’s bureaucrats, thereby overriding a Supreme Court ruling favouring the elected government’s authority in transfers and appointments.
Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai introduced the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023.
