Congress MP Seeks Lok Sabha Discussion on New Anti-Defection Law Amid Session Adjournments
Congress MP Manish Tewari submitted an adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha seeking to suspend parliamentary business for a discussion on a new anti-defection law aimed at curbing opportunistic mass defections while protecting principled dissent. The motion called for urgent debate on framing legislation to discourage politically motivated defections without stifling honest criticism. The session also saw opposition demands for Union Home Minister Amit Shah's apology over police actions during recent protests, leading to repeated adjournments.
