The contentious Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, which aims to take away control over posting of officers from the Delhi government, was passed in the Lok Sabha today as the Opposition staged a walkout. Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed both the houses over the bill.
The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023 was also taken up in the Lok Sabha. The opposition INDIA bloc has opposed the Digital Data bill demanding a reconsideration by parliamentary standing committee. The bill empowers the Central Government to make rules in connection with the affairs of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi including the functions, terms and other conditions of service of officers and employees.
