Union Home Minister Amit Shah strongly defended the ‘Delhi Services Bill’ that was passed amidst vigorous parliamentary discourse on Monday. He stated that the legislation aims to make the country corruption-free and it adheres to the directives of the Supreme Court.
The BJP leader was also seen tearing into Congress as he was interrupted by party President Mallikarjun Kharge while an ‘Emergency’ reference was used in support of the Bill.
The home minister also addressed the Manipir violence issue and said the Centre is ready to hold a discussion on the ethnic violence and steps being taken to curb that.
Delhi Services Bill was passed in the Lok Sabha on Thursday after a five-hour debate amid a walkout by the opposition parties including Congress and AAP.
Last week, the opposition temporarily suspended their protests in the Lok Sabha to facilitate a debate on the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill.
The bill aims to replace the ordinance issued in May, granting control of the bureaucracy in the city administration to the elected government after the Supreme Court’s ruling.
