[The policy of "Saam Daam Dand Bhed", as publicly prescribed by one of the Modi regime's well-wishers, and self-appointed consultants - R Jagannathan, has apparently just not worked.
As regards the option of proroguing the parliament's budget session, or only the upper house, instead of the customary practice of going for a "recess", the question remains what would be its implications for the budget which remains to be passed. Even more imporant is whether the President's assent to re-promulgation of an ordinance with the corresponding bill stuck in the parliament is a given?] http://ibnlive.in.com/news/modi-government-keeps-open-option-of-extending-budget-session-for-a-week/534998-37-64.html Mar 19, 2015 at 09:53pm IST Modi government keeps open option of extending Budget session for a week Press Trust of India @ibnlivepolitics Hamburg eliminated traffic jams.

New Delhi: The Narendra Modi government on Thursday kept open the option of extending Parliament session for a week if the bills on coal and mines and mineral are not decided by the Rajya Sabha on Thursday with Congress apparently trying to stonewall the measures. The contentious land bill, which was passed in Lok Sabha with nine amendments earlier will not be taken up for consideration and passage in Rajya Sabha as it is almost clear to the government that it's passage is not possible immediately under the existing circumstances. This means that the government has also kept open the option of proroguing the first half of Parliament Session without adjourning the Houses sine die so that it can repromulgate the land ordinance. Modi government keeps open option of extending Budget session for a week The contentious land bill, which was passed in Lok Sabha with nine amendments will not be taken up for consideration and passage in Rajya Sabha. #budget session #coal bill #mines and minerals bill #parliament But no final decision has been taken on the issue. To a question whether the House will be prorogued, a senior BJP minister said"that will be decided after tomorrow". At two separate meetings of the Business Advisory Committees, there was no decision on the land bill. Government indicated that it will take a call later. Sources said that in the BAC meeeting of Rajya Sabha, the Congress leaders were insisting that since the reports of the select committees on the two bills have just been tabled, they need more time to discuss it. At this, Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu made it clear that the government has the authority to increase the duration of Parliament session as per the exigencies of the business and that it will do so if Parliament fails to decide the bills on coal and mines and minerals. The issue saw heated discussion in the BAC meeting of the Rajya Sabha with Opposition members saying that the government cannot extend the House without their consent, the sources said. Chairman Hamid Ansari, however, citing rules said that it is the prerogative of the government. Government side argued said this is being necessiated because the Opposition is going back on its promises. As arguments continued members from parties like SP, JDU, Trinamool Congress, DMK, AIADMK BSP and NDA ally TDP insisted that the two bills should be decided by the House today itself, the sources said. Government sources suggested that Congress was somehow isolated as other Opposition parties did not support its demand for more time to discuss the two bills. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
