End to Parliament impasse in sight, Lok Sabha may take up bill on exam reforms today
NEW DELHI: On a day the opposition's protest over Delhi Police's alleged excesses against protesting students washed out proceedings in both Houses of Parliament yet again, signs emerged that normalcy may return from Tuesday, with government's bill for enhancing punishment in cases of paper leaks likely to be taken up for discussion in the lower House.
Sources said a breakthrough emerged following Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's outreach to both government and the opposition for breaking the impasse that has persisted since the monsoon session began on July 20, and that a discussion on the Vande Mataram bill, which makes insulting the national song a penal offence, may begin in Rajya Sabha.
