Delhi Ordinance Likely In Parliament | More Hangama on the Cards | Oneindia News
Parliament likely to discuss the Bill intended to replace the Delhi ordinance. The ordinance had been promulgated, resulting in the reversal of a Supreme Court constitution bench judgment. This judgment had previously granted control of the Capital's bureaucracy to the elected government of Delhi. Will this add to the already acrimonious session of the parliament?

00:00 This monsoon session has been all about acrimony.
00:18 The Manipur turmoil has rocked the Parliament, virtually holding the proceedings to ransom.
00:24 One day in all likelihood we'll have another stormy session.
00:28 There is another contentious bill that might come up for discussion and that is the Delhi
00:33 Ordinance Bill.
00:35 The proposed Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Amendment Bill aims to
00:39 replace the Union Government's Ordinance which was issued to establish an authority
00:43 responsible for transfers and postings of Group A officers in Delhi.
00:49 This ordinance facilitated the creation of the National Capital Civil Services Authority
00:54 (NCCSA) which was tasked with handling transfers and disciplinary proceedings of Group A officers
01:00 from the Delhi-Andaman-Nicobar-Dadar Nagar Haveli Civil Service Carter.
01:05 However, the Arvind Kejriwal-led government contested this new law, arguing that it contradicted
01:11 the Supreme Court's order from May 11.
01:14 The Court's previous ruling granted the Delhi Government control over services in
01:17 Delhi except for police, public order and land-related matters.
01:24 To replace the ordinance, the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Amendment
01:27 Bill has been introduced with several opposition members in Parliament expressing their intent
01:32 to oppose it through a statutory resolution when it comes up for discussion.
01:37 The Delhi Ordinance has become a focal point for parties aligned with the Indian National
01:41 Developmental Inclusive Alliance, better known as India.
01:47 The Union Cabinet also approved the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Amendment
01:51 Bill which would grant the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi the final say in transfers and appointments
01:57 if any disagreements arise with the NCCSA.
02:01 The ordinance promulgated on May 19 effectively reversed a Supreme Court judgment that had
02:06 granted the capital's bureaucracy control to Delhi's elected government in all matters
02:11 except policing, public order and land.
02:16 This move further intensified the conflict between the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi
02:20 and the Union Government-appointed Lieutenant Governor over administrative control.
02:24 The Aam Aadmi Party criticised the ordinance as illegal, unconstitutional and a black law.
02:31 Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal campaigned nationwide to garner support against the ordinance
02:36 and sought clarity from Congress before aligning with the India grouping.
02:41 On July 20, the Supreme Court referred the Delhi Government's petition challenging the
02:45 ordinance to a constitutional bench of five judges.
02:48 However, the Court's decision to examine the ordinance's legality will not impact the introduction
02:54 or passage of the bill.
02:56 Now all eyes are on the Parliament to witness how the drama unfolds around it.
