Parliament Monsoon Session LIVE: Delhi Services Bill, Data Protection Bill To Spark Uproar
The bill empowers the Centre to make rules for the Government of NCT of Delhi
New Delhi:
The contentious Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023 is scheduled to be taken up in the Lok Sabha again today after the lower house was adjourned yesterday amid uproar over the opposition’s ongoing protest over the Manipur issue.
The Bill will be moved by Home Minister Amit Shah for consideration and passing in the House.
The opposition INDIA bloc plans to oppose the bill which the Aam Aadmi Party has called the “most undemocratic” piece of legislation.
The bill empowers the Central Government to make rules in connection with the affairs of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi including the functions, terms and other conditions of service of officers and employees.
The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023 will also be introduced in Lok Sabha. It was approved by the Union Cabinet earlier this month.

Congress leader Manish Tewari on Thursday asked how the Digital Data Protection Bill can be classified as a financial bill, and said it should be considered as a regular bill. The bill should again go to a Joint Parliamentary Committee, he said.
The bill aims to make entities like internet companies, mobile apps, and business houses more accountable and answerable about collection, storage and processing of the data of citizens as part of Right to Privacy.
