Row over delimitation, language continue to rock both Houses
Hindustan Times Delhi
|March 12, 2025
Both Houses of Parliament on Tuesday witnessed heated exchanges as the Opposition and the government sparred over the possible delimitation of Lok Sabha constituencies, three-language policy under the National Education Policy (NEP), and duplication of EPIC (voter ID) numbers.
NEW DELHI:
Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned for about 40 minutes after opposition MPs demanded discussions on these issues after giving notices under rule 267 seeking suspension of the day's business. The notices were rejected by deputy chairperson Harivansh. However, the issue of delimitation was brought to the fore by DMK's R Girirajan, who raised the matter during Zero Hour.
