Clashes continue over Manipur…
On Friday, 11 August 2023, the ongoing session of the Monsoon Session of Parliament is set to end.
During the session, the Opposition and treasury benches fought on the issue of violence in Manipur.
On Thursday, PM Modi addressed the parliament during the no-trust debate.
He tore into the opposition for trying to "play politics" over Manipur and assuring that the nation stands with the violence-hit state.
He said the Opposition had "betrayed" the people by not allowing any discussion to take place on crucial bills in the session.
Meanwhile, the suspension of the Congress MP, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha is likely to dominate proceedings in the Lower House.
According to the listed legislative business in Lok Sabha, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will introduce the Central Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2023.
Meanwhile, in Rajya Sabha CPI MP Binoy Viswam will move a private member resolution to formulate a Gig Workers' Rights Bill.
It will have provisions for mandatory registration of aggregators and workers, issuance of unique IDs, provision of minimum wages, levying of fees for social security benefits, and creation of a Gig-Workers' Welfare Fund under a Gig-Workers' Welfare Board to look after the welfare of gig-workers and their dependents.
