The Rajya Sabha witnessed chaotic scenes on Monday following an uproar by the Opposition over the decision of the Chairman to reject the suspension of business notices on the India-China border situation. The joint Opposition later staged a walkout. In the Lok Sabha, the Centre introduced the Repealing and Amending Bill. The Lok Sabha also passed the Anti-Maritime Piracy Bill and took up the Bills to modify the Scheduled Tribes lists in Chhattisgarh and Karnataka. Before concluding for the day, the Lower House also passed the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, (Fourth Amendment) Bill, 2022 that seeks to include the Betta Kuruba community in the ST list of Karnataka as a synonym for the Kadu Kuruba tribe.
The Winter Session of Parliament began on December 7 and will conclude on December 29. So far, the clash between India and China in Arunachal Pradesh has been in focus in Parliament. Last week, the Congress accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of not allowing a discussion on the situation along the border and asked why the nation was not taken into confidence in the matter.
