The fifth day of the Winter Session of Parliament ended with a walkout staged by the opposition over a report by the Ethics Committee on a “cash-for-query” against TMC MP Mahua Moitra while she was expelled from the Lower House.
Opposition leaders in the Rajya Sabha pointed out hunger, poverty and unemployment trends in the country. More than 70 Private Member’s Bills were introduced in the Rajya Sabha in the post-lunch session. Post this, the House took up discussion of the Constitution Amendment Bill, 2022, pertaining to the amendment of articles 154 and substitution of articles 155 and 156. These sections pertain to the office of the governor, including his powers and term in office.
