Hyderabad, Oct. 16: The Centre is reportedly planning a special Parliament session later this month to consider the Delimitation Bill and legislation related to women’s reservation. Government sources said the proposed session aims to secure passage of the bills.
The government is also seeking support from opposition parties, despite ongoing protests over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Special Parliament Session | Centre Seeks Support for Delimitation Bill
The Centre had previously introduced a bill related to delimitation, or the redrawing of constituency boundaries. A related Constitutional Amendment Bill was defeated during the Budget Session on April 17, according to the source report.
The government had considered bringing the legislation back during the Monsoon Session. However, the plan reportedly did not proceed amid opposition concerns over the NEET paper leak and calls for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation.
The Centre is now reportedly exploring another attempt through a special session. It is also holding discussions with the DMK and smaller regional parties that have split from Congress.
The government is seeking to build wider political support for the proposed legislation. The dates for the special session are yet to be officially announced.
