THE CENTRAL GOVT IS SET TO MOVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PROCLAMATION OF PRESIDENT'S RULE IN MANIPUR
NEW DELHI: The stage is set for a renewed showdown between the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Opposition in Parliament as the second half of the Budget session resumes on Monday, with the two sides likely to spar over the latter's allegations of duplicate Election Photo Identity Card (EPIC) numbers, the looming threat of US tariffs on India, the political furore over the delimitation of parliamentary constituencies, as well as the vexed amendments to the Waqf Bill.
The government is also set to move a motion to approve the proclamation of President's rule in Manipur and finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman scheduled to present the budget of the Manipur assembly, which is under suspended animation.
The Narendra Modi-led NDA government will also look to push through a raft of bills, said people aware of the matter.
The Opposition, meanwhile, will try and use the floor to flag its concerns over the ongoing violence in Manipur, where the administration's attempts to restore free travel have been hobbled by fresh clashes.
This will be the first session of Parliament since former chief minister N Biren Singh stepped down in February.
