The centre's bill on control of serves in Delhi has been passed in the Lok Sabha. The opposition MPs walked out of the house just after the Lok Sabha cleared the bill, after a day of heavy exchange of arguments and counterpoints.
Home Minister Amit Shah defended the government's bill to override a Supreme Court order on who controls bureaucrats in the national capital.
"This ordinance refers to the order of the Supreme Court which says parliament has the right to make laws on any issue related to the National Capital Territory of Delhi. There are provisions in the Constitution that allow the centre to make laws for Delhi," Mr Shah said, referring to the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023.
