Data to Delhi, crucial bills on anvil in House session
The Indian government plans to pass 31 pieces of legislation during the upcoming Monsoon session of Parliament, including bills on bureaucracy control, data protection, forest conservation, and reservation laws. The Opposition is seeking a debate on the ethnic violence in Manipur and has demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's involvement. The session will also be the first opportunity for the newly formed INDIA alliance to assert its influence. The last session was marred by a deadlock between the government and the Opposition, resulting in a low percentage of work transacted.
