AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi today moved a notice to Lok Sabha General Secretary opposing the introduction of the bill on Control of services in Delhi, saying that “it violates the principle of federalism, which is part of the basic structure of the Constitution”.
Owaisi is with BRS headed by KCR and not in the INDIA group of the opposition parties.
In his notice, the Hyderabad MP said, “I give notice of my intention to oppose the introduction of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023 under Rule 72 of the Rule of Procedure on the following grounds, as it violated Article 123 and the Bill also violates the principle of federalism which is part of the basic structure of the Constitution.”
Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal informed Lok Sabha that the bill is in the government’s business for next week. Rajya Sabha was informed of the government business for this week by Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs V Muraleedharan.
The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, replaces the Ordinance, which was promulgated in May this year.
The government is now pushing for its legislative business in the ongoing Monsoon session, which has been disrupted, owing to a “logjam” over the Manipur issue, since it began.
