Parliament Winter Session Live: On Day 4 of the Winter Session of Parliament, the Rajya Sabha continued its discussions on the “Economic Situation in the country”, which was raised by Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Derek O’Brien on December 5. During the discussion, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, “Our 2nd quarter growth has been very high, it’s the highest in the world and we continuously maintain that momentum.”
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will move the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 in the Rajya Sabha for consideration and passage.
The Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed both the Bills on Jammu and Kashmir. After the Bills were passed, the Opposition members walked out of the House over Home Minister Amit Shah’s remark on former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, where he blamed him for PoK “blunder”.
During the debate, Shah had said, “Jammu and Kashmir has suffered due to two blunders committed by Prime Minister Nehru – first, by announcing ceasefire, and then taking Kashmir issue to the United Nations… Had Jawaharlal Nehru taken right steps, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir would have been part of India now. It was a historic blunder.”
