Copies of 6 ordinances laid in Lok Sabha

Copies of six ordinances promulgated recently on issues such as land acquisition and coal were laid in the Lok Sabha amid protests by some members against the trend of using the ordinance route.
The copies were laid by minister of state for parliamentary affairs Rajiv Pratap Rudy on the first day of the Budget session. The government intends to get bills passed on these ordinances which will expire before the end of the first half of the Budget session on March 20.
As Rudy laid the copies, members of Trinamool Congress raised slogans demanding “end the ordinance raj“ of the government. The six ordinances include those on land acquisition, FDI in insurance, auction of coal blocks, e-rickshaws, mines and minerals and amendment to Citizenship Act by merging the status of OCI and PIO Cards.
