PRS Parliament Diary: Monsoon Session – Day 15 : Aug 5, 2016

The Minister of Home Affairs, Mr. Rajnath Singh gave a statement in both houses on his recent visit to Pakistan for the SAARC Summit. The Minister informed the members that terrorism, narcotic drug trafficking and cybercrime were the main topics on the agenda.  He also mentioned that he has urged SAARC members to fight terrorisms globally without distinguishing between good and bad terrorism. He further called upon SAARC members to facilitate extradition of people accused in terrorist activities. He also stated that during the summit he urged SAARC members to approve a Drug Offences Monitoring Desk.

The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Amendment Bill (private member bill) was taken up in Rajya Sabha.  The Leader of the House raised objections to the bill being put to vote for passage stating that it is a money bill. The Deputy Chairman referred this matter to the Speaker to decide if the Bill be deemed as a money bill or not.

Discussion on the Bill to amend the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution of India was also taken up for discussion in the Lower House. The Bill relates to constitution of District Councils and powers of the District Councils and Regional Councils.
