Lok Sabha pushes through two more bills amid protests, no debate
The lower house approved two bills—renaming Kerala and expanding NCDC's powers—without debate as opposition continued protests demanding Home Minister Amit Shah’s presence.
During the monsoon session, the Lok Sabha passed legislation to rename Kerala as Keralam and to allow the National Cooperative Development Corporation to issue loans and grants directly to cooperatives. Both measures were adopted without any discussion. Opposition members persisted in chanting and demonstrating, insisting that Home Minister Amit Shah appear in the chamber. The lack of debate marks the ninth bill out of eleven cleared without debate since the session began. The protests highlight ongoing tensions between the ruling party and dissenting legislators.
Why it matters
It shows how key legislation is being enacted without debate, raising concerns about parliamentary oversight.
