THE Tamil Nadu cabinet, in a meeting held under Chief Minister MK Stalin, on Thursday decided to reintroduce and pass the bill to ban online gambling in the assembly since the "House is competent enough to enact such legislation as per the Constitution." The bill will be reintroduced in the ensuing budget session and will be sent to the governor.
"The governor cannot deny assent to the bill when it is sent for the second time. The governor said the state assembly has no legislative competence to enact such legislation. But as per Madras HC orders, the assembly has the powers," law minister S Reguphathy told reporters at the secretariat after the meeting. Asked whether the same bill will be reintroduced in the assembly, the minister said, "During the discussions (in the assembly), if some new views are expressed, they will be added. But this will be decided after the discussion."
Asked about the points raised by the governor, the minister said the governor had repeated certain views quoting laws but the state had already clarified them. Questioned what if the governor delays assent to the bill, the minister said, "Let us face that when the governor does that."
