New Delhi: Lok Sabha on Thursday passed the controversial Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill-2023 to replace services ordinance by voice vote. The opposition parties raised lot of noise over it. AAP MP Sushil Kumar Rinku rushed to the well of Lok Sabha, tore the bill and threw it towards the speaker.
Considering this as insult to the Lok Sabha, the BJP moved a resolution to suspend Rinku for the remaining part of the session. The resolution was adopted with a voice vote and Rinku was suspended.
The Lok Sabha took up the bill to replace the ordinance for control of services in Delhi for consideration and passage on Thursday. It was listed for discussion on Wednesday but could not be taken up as Lok Sabha was adjourned amid opposition protest.
