OBC Bill passed in Lok Sabha; Chaos in Parliament over farm laws; more

Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed a Constitution amendment bill to restore the power of states to make their own OBC lists as Opposition parties backed the legislation.

For the first time since the Monsoon session of Parliament began on July 19, Lok Sabha witnessed a debate in an orderly manner as the Opposition put its protests demanding a debate over the Pegasus snooping allegations on hold for The Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Seventh Amendment) Bill, 2021 which was passed with 385 members voting in support and no member opposing it.

Meanwhile, sloganeering and protests continued in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on Tuesday as Opposition members urged repeal of farm laws.
