Indian Parliament Adjourns Amid Opposition to Constitutional Amendment

The Lok Sabha has been adjourned sine die. This special session of the Lok Sabha lasted 3 days. The Rajya Sabha was also adjourned sine die. Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge said on the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill not being passed in the Lok Sabha, "We are not anti-women, and we have been working for one-third reservation for women for a long time. We unanimously supported the 2023 amendment and passed it. But under the garb of that, they introduced another amendment, putting a delimitation clause in it, thus making the Women's Reservation and Delimitation Bill one. By bringing these bills together, they wanted to gain power so that any further delimitation law can be passed and changed by a simple majority in the House. You should do it within 543 members. After the next census or caste census is completed, you can complete it in the next election. Your intention is to change the structure of the Constitution and change the executive power." Gopal Yadav, leader of the Samajwadi Party, said, "The bill was not passed in the Lok Sabha when it was passed.
