Monsoon session 2023 | From Uniform Civil Code to Manipur unrest: what to expect

The Modi govt plans to introduce 21 new bills in the Monsoon session that will be held from July 20 to August 11. 

In what could be the first test of INDIA vs NDA, the monsoon session of the Parliament begins from July 20

The Modi govt plans to introduce 21 new bills in the Monsoon session that will be held from July 20 to August 11. It is supposed to start in the Old Parliament building and then move to the new complex, making it the first session to be held in the new Parliament.&nbsp;
One of the new bills included in the tentative list of business for the Monsoon session is the Data Protection Bill. A draft of the bill was approved by the Union Cabinet on July 5.&nbsp;
Aimed at protecting offline and online data of Indians, if passed the law will enable govt to penalise organisations violating the rules. While the bill is being appreciated for strong steps to protect data privacy, critics say it gives the govt broad powers. The bill has also ruffled the feathers of several social media platforms.&nbsp;
The govt is also expected to bring in a bill to replace the controversial Delhi Ordinance that gave the Lieutenant Governor authority over the capital's bureaucrats. The bill is likely to face resistance on the heels of a new alliance formed by the opposition parties of which AAP is a member.&nbsp;
According to reports, the government may also bring in a bill on the Uniform Civil Code in the Monsoon session. Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated BJP's commitment of introducing a Uniform Civil Code for all citizens at a rally in election-bound Madhya Pradesh on June 27.&nbsp;
The ethnic violence in Manipur is also likely to be discussed in the Monsoon session with the Centre saying it is willing to discuss every issue permitted under the rules. The Congress has said its demand for a discussion on Manipur is non-negotiable.&nbsp;

While calling the incident unforgivable, Modi said that all state governments must ensure safety of women.

While calling the incident unforgivable, Modi said that all state governments must ensure the safety of women.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke on the Manipur situation for the first time since violence broke out in the state on May 3.
Speaking ahead of the first day of the Parliament's Monsoon Session, Modi reacted to the video of two Manipur women being paraded naked and molested in May.
While calling the incident unforgivable, Modi said that all state governments must ensure the safety of women.
"My heart is filled with pain and anger. The entire nation is ashamed. 140 crore Indians are being shamed," he said.
"I appeal to all CMs to strengthen the law and order situation, especially for the safety of our mothers and daughters. Whether the incident is of Rajasthan or Chhattisgarh or Manipur, in any part of this country, in states ruled by any party, we need to rise above political bickering to ensure the rule of law and respect for women," Modi added.
He concluded by saying, "None of the perpetrators will be spared. What has happened to daughters of Manipur can never be forgiven."

The proceedings of the Upper House were adjourned for the day in the post-lunch session after the laying of listed papers and introduction of the Cinematograph (Amendment) Bill. The house also witnessed an adjournment over the Manipur issue in the morning session.
Opposition members started sloganeering when Union Minister of Information &amp; Broadcasting and Youth Affairs &amp; Sports Anurag Thakur moved to introduce the Cinematograph (Amendment) Bill, 2023 to further to amend the Cinematograph Act, 1952 after moving to withdraw the Cinematograph (Amendment) Bill, 2019 that was passed by a voice vote amid the din. Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge said he has been demanding a discussion on the Manipur issue since morning but has not been allowed despite giving notice in advance.
"I have made my full efforts to attract your attention and gave notice but unfortunately, I am not allowed to raise this (rule) 267. You know Manipur is burning, women are raped and paraded naked... and Prime Minister is keeping quiet. He is giving statement outside" he said.
Dhankhar asked opposition members to maintain order in the house amid intensified sloganeering as some of them shouted "Manipur", "Manipur" forcing him to adjourn the house for the day.
Earlier in the day when the House met at 12 noon, Dhankhar accepted eight notices by members for a short duration discussion under the rule 267.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Sunday expressed its disappointment against the Union government and accused the Centre of completely reneging on the written promises made to the farmers when the protest was lifted on December 9 last year.
Three important decisions regarding the farmers' movement were taken at the national meet of representatives of all the farmers' organizations associated with the SKM, held in Ghaziabad on Sunday.
In a statement issued by the SKM, the farmers' body claimed that neither the committee on Minimum Support Price (MSP) has been formed, nor the "false" cases registered against the farmers during the agitation been withdrawn.
It also accused the government of not being ready to consider the biggest demand of the farmers -- a legal guarantee on MSP.
In protest against this alleged "betrayal" by the government, "Protest Against Betrayal" public meetings will be organized at district level, from the beginning of the monsoon session of Parliament on July 18 till July 31 -- the martyrdom day of Shaheed Udham Singh -- across the country, the SKM said in its statement.
The SKM has also announced that at the end of this campaign, on July 31, a chakka jam of all the major highways across the country will be organized from 11 am to 3 pm.
It has also been decided in the meet that the farm organizations will mobilize unemployed youth and ex-servicemen against the Agnipath military recruitment scheme, which is "anti-national and anti-youth as well as anti-farmer".

For the first time since the Monsoon Session began, the Lok Sabha on Tuesday witnessed a proper debate on a bill when the House took up the Constitution (127th Amendment) Bill, 2021, which seeks to restore states&rsquo; power to make their own OBC lists.

The Lok Sabha on Tuesday approved the 127th Constitution Amendment bill to restore the right of states to identify and provide reservation benefits to other backward castes (OBC).
This is the first time in the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament, that a piece of legislation was tabled and passed unanimously without disruptions.
The entire House supported the bill and Lok Sabha MPs debated for more than six hours even as protests continued in Rajya Sabha over the controversial farm laws. Many parties, including those in Opposition as well as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) allies, demanded that the current 50% cap on reservations should be lifted.
On May 5, while scrapping a separate quota for the Maratha community in Maharashtra, the Supreme Court had ruled that after a 2018 amendment in the Constitution, only the central government could notify socially and educationally backward classes (SEBCs) &ndash; not the states.
This interpretation struck a blow to the authority of state governments in identifying backward classes and provide them with reservation benefits. The new bill bypasses the Supreme Court&rsquo;s decision.
