Two bills passed in the Lok Sabha have stamped on creating infrastructure for air travel and necessary reforms in waterway traffic. Introducing the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India Amendment Bill, Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said, “This is a revolutionary step and will create a network of air travel infrastructure across the country.” There is a provision to amend the definition of major airport in this. This will encourage the development of smaller airports.
In airports which are currently unlikely to invite reasonable competitive bids due to loss with low traffic potential, development of more airports through public-private partnerships will expand air connectivity to remote and remote areas.
While introducing the Inland Vessel Bill, Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said, “The Indian Ships Act, enacted in 2017, needs a comprehensive reform in the present circumstances. This bill has been brought for the purpose of safety, registration and smooth operation of ships. This will also help in pollution control. The system of registration of ships will be in one place. No approval of individual states will have to be taken for the operation of ships. All such processes have been centralised.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said on Thursday that I am deeply hurt by the incident of some opposition members throwing pieces of paper towards the Chair a day ago. He said that this kind of conduct is absolutely not acceptable in the biggest panchayat of the country. It is noteworthy that on Wednesday, Congress MPs Gurjit Aujla, TN Prathapan, Ibi Eden and some other members threw pieces of paper towards the Lok Sabha Chair.
As soon as the Lok Sabha proceedings began on Thursday, Birla said, “I am deeply saddened by the incident on July 28. Throwing paper towards the Chair, insulting the Chair is not in accordance with parliamentary practice. “If you don’t respect parliamentary practice, how will the parliamentary process be strengthened? It is my endeavor that all the members get enough time to raise their issues and give them due respect.
The Lok Sabha speaker told the members, “Acts which are not in consonance with parliamentary practice… should not be repeated.” If such incidents happen again, I will need your cooperation. I will take strict action against such members so that we can uphold the dignity of Parliament. Let us tell you that the opposition parties are continuously demonstrating in Parliament on the agricultural law brought by the Center, Pegasus espionage issue and other matters.
Birla said, “We consider it (Lok Sabha) as a temple of democracy. It also gives a sense of confidence that the Speaker will do justice to all and be fair. If you have any question related to Chair you can tell me in my room. I will try to accept your suggestions to maintain the dignity of the presidency. But we have to decide together how we can enhance the dignity of the House.
A tug of war continues between the government and the opposition over the suspension of around 10 MPs who were involved in tearing papers on the plinth on Wednesday. The government had on Wednesday planned to bring a proposal for suspension of 10 MPs of Congress and Trinamool Congress (TMC). However, in the meeting held with the speaker on Thursday, the opposition proposed to express regret in this matter. After this, it was agreed not to bring the proposal of suspension of the MPs. But later Congress Parliamentary Party leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury started targeting the government. He blamed the government’s attitude for the uproar.
There was a heated argument between Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi over this. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said, the present Lok Sabha has set an example in the matter of proceedings. Obviously this would not have been possible without the cooperation of the opposition. The present situation has been established due to the stubborn attitude of the government. The government does not want to listen to the opposition. Joshi then asked Adhir to apologize for Wednesday’s incident. Then there was a ruckus in the House and the proceedings were adjourned for half an hour. Then the proceedings of the house had to be adjourned due to a heated argument between the government and the opposition.
