Seeking to break the impasse over the Goods and Services Tax bill, the NDA Govt led by Narendra Modi called an all-party meeting on Sunday July 17,2016, requesting support from the Opposition parties in the passage of pending legislations during the Monsoon Session of Parliament that will begin on Monday July 18,2016
As Parliament meets for the Monsoon Session on Monday July 18,2016, sparks are set to fly with the Opposition seeking to corner the treasury benches on a host of issues -
- India's failure to secure NSG membership
- Supreme Court verdict on Arunachal Pradesh
- Govt's decision to seek a report from the Law Commission on the proposal for introducing a Uniform Civil Code
The NDA Government is hopeful of the passage of the GST bill in this session amid indications that a number of regional parties have broken ranks with Congress on the issue and are willing to extend their support to the crucial economic reform measure.
Besides the GST, another key legislation pending passage is the Whistle Blowers Protection (Amendment) Bill, 2015, which was moved in December last year but the discussion on it had remained inconclusive. In the Budget Session this year, this bill could not be taken up for debate.
In the Lok Sabha, important pending bills include the Consumer Protection Bill 2015 and the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amendment Bill, 2015.
