Three days of the monsoon session to go, the deadlock in parliament shows no sign of resolution. There is now speculation about a possible "give-and-take" between the government and the Opposition to end the impasse. There is also the possibility of co-opting the DMK with concessions on the FCRA bill, sources have indicated. 

The monsoon session, which began on July 20, has witnessed massive uproar over the past 16 days over the police crackdown on the students' protest in Delhi. Amid the commotion, while the government managed to pass some bills, the situation regarding the controversial FCRA and Delimitation bills remains unclear.

Congress MP Manish Tewari on Monday gave notice to move a motion for adjournment of the House business in the Lok Sabha to discuss the need for a new Anti-Defection Law.

In his notice, Tewari proposed suspension of the listed business of the day to hold a discussion on framing the contours of a new law to prevent mass political defections.

He said the proposed law should address defections driven by opportunism and without genuine ideological or policy differences, while also ensuring space for honest and critical dissent within and outside Parliament and legislatures.

"I move that this House do suspend Question Hour, Zero Hour and all other listed business of the day to discuss the contours of a new Anti-Defection Law that proscribes Mass Political Defections driven by opportunism and bereft of any genuine ideological or policy differences while simultaneously providing space for honest and critical dissent both inside and outside Parliament and the legislatures," the notice reads.

The Tenth Schedule, also known as the anti-defection law, was added to the Constitution through the 52nd Constitutional Amendment Act in 1985. It provides for the disqualification of lawmakers who switch parties or defect. The law applies to members of Parliament and state legislatures under Articles 102(2) and 191(2) of the Constitution.
