Ten ordinances: Modi Govt 2.0 wants opposition parties' support
By IndianMandarins- 07 Jun 2019
892The Modi government is trying to reach out to opposition
political parties including the Congress by asking their help on around 10
issues of national importance on which it wants to promulgate ordinance. Some
of these issues included triple talaq and the issue of reservation in Jammu and
Kashmir. The BJP leaders also met Congress general secretary and former Jammu
and Kashmir chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on June 5, 2019 to seek support of
his party on similar issues. Union minister for agriculture Narendra Singh Tomar, Union
minister for parliamentary affairs and MP from Karnataka Prahlad Joshi and his
deputy Arjun Ram Meghwal have met Sonia Gandhi to seek her support on these
issues as well. Sources informed that the BJP will meet other opposition
leaders to seek their support in this regard. Ten ordinances that the government
wants to promulgate included the Muslim Women (Protection of Right on Marriage)
second ordinance, 2019, the India Medical Council (Amendment) second ordinance
2019, the Companies (Amendment), second ordinance 2019, the Jammu and Kashmir
Reservation (Amendment), ordinance 2019, the Adhara and other laws (Amendment)
ordinance 2019, the New Delhi International Arbitration Centre Ordinance 2019,
the homeopathy Central Council (Amendment), ordinance 2019, the Special
Economic Zone (Amendment), Ordinance, 2019 and the central Educational
Institutions (Reservation in Teachers’ Cadre), Ordinance, 2019. The BJP has majority in the Lok Sabha so passing the bill in
the lower house is an issue where it has 303 seats of its own and with allies
it has 353 seats. But the BJP is still short of majority in the upper house of
Parliament but if the government wants to get it approved from Parliament it
definitely needs support from the opposition so the entire exercise of the BJP
is to bring opposition on board.
These ordinances need to be promulgated after that they will
be brought before the cabinet and once cabinet approves it, they will be sent
to Parliament for its approval and that is the road block for the BJP. So the
party wants to play safe by taking the opposition along.
