GNCTD Bill passed by Parliament, AAP says 'black day for democracy' Last Updated : 25 Mar 2021 12:40:36 AM IST The controversial Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2021, was passed by Parliament on Wednesday, with the Rajya Sabha clearing the provision amid pandemonium, in a major setback to Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)
The Bill, ensuring more constitutional powers to the Central government's appointed Lt. Governor as against the Delhi Assembly, had been passed by the Lok Sabha on Monday.
Moments after the GNCTD (Amendment) Bill, 2021 got the Rajya Sabha's approval, the Delhi Cabinet, including Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, took to social media to slam the move, alleging the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre was attempting to rule the national capital through the backdoor.Kejriwal, in a tweet, said: "RS passes GNCTD amendment Bill. Sad day for Indian democracy. We will continue our struggle to restore power back to people. Whatever be the obstacles, we will continue doing good work. Work will neither stop nor slow down."Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia tweeted in Hindi: "Aaj ka din loktantra ke liye kala din hai. Dilli ki janata dwara chuni huyi sarkar ke adhikaron ko chheen kar LG ke hanth me saunp diya gaya. Vidambna dekhiye ki loktantra ki hatya ke liye sansad ko chuna gaya jo hamare loktantra ka mandir hai. Dilli ki janata is tanashahi ke khilaf ladegi (Today is a black day for democracy. The rights of the elected government have been given to the Lt Governor. The sad part is that the Parliament, which is the temple of democracy, has been chosen to murder democracy. The people of Delhi will resist this dictatorial trends)."आज का दिन लोकतंत्र के लिए काला दिन है।दिल्ली की जनता द्वारा चुनी हुई सरकार के अधिकारों को छीन कर एलजी के हाथ में सौंप दिया गया।विडंबना देखिए कि लोकतंत्र की हत्या के लिए संसद को चुना गया जो हमारे लोकतंत्र का मंदिर है।दिल्ली की जनता इस तानाशाही के खिलाफ लड़ेगी. #BJPFearsKejriwal
— Manish Sisodia (@msisodia) March 24, 2021The discussions on the new legislation -- which gives greater powers to the Lt Governor -- led to heated arguments in the upper House of Parliament a number of times on Wednesday.Members of the Trinamool Congress, the AAP and the Congress, among many other opposition leaders, raised slogans against the legislation.Due to the ruckus, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had to cut short her speech in her reply to the Finance Bill 2021.During the debate on the Bill, Trinamool member Derek O'Brien alleged that Bharatiya Janata Party members were constantly commenting on him and that this was against the rules of the House.Accusing the Central government of arbitrariness, he said the Bill went against the spirit of the federal structure of the nation.Reacting to O'Brien's allegations, BJP President J.P. Nadda stood up and accused the Trinamool of double standardsIANS Delhi For Latest Updates Please-
