Political heat in Monsoon: BJP ploys to pass its ideology in the upcoming Parliament session!

Narendra Modi-led BJP regime is all set to attend the upcoming Parliament Monsoon session with the brand new cabinet. The monsoon session will begin on July 19 and the floors of both the chambers would witness extreme political heat between the ruling and opposition parties amid hosting the monsoon session, which will be curtailed down on August 13.

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has on Monday officially announced the date of the monsoon session. The parties will be locking horns on the controversial reforms of the Union government including uniform civil code and population control. According to the secretaries of both houses, BJP MPs will introduce private members' bills on population control and a uniform civil code. BJP Lok Sabha MP from Uttar Pradesh Ravi Kishan and Rajya Sabha MP from Rajasthan Kirori Lal Meena will be introducing the private members' bills on population control and uniform civil code respectively. 

According to reports, the private members' bill on population control would be tabled in the Parliament when the BJP-ruling Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state in the country, has introduced a bill to seize the surging population in the state. Yogi Adityanath-led government in Uttar Pradesh has invited suggestions from the public over the draft population bill till July 19. These legislations are from the pack of BJP's propaganda and it is expected that the monsoon session will go through uproars from the opposition parties over BJP's ploy to pass its ideology. 

The opposition parties had flayed the ruling regime that the BJP is targeting one specific community. The opposition parties will also urge the Union government to reduce the fuel prices that have been distressing the Indian people amid the pandemic and lockdown. The Congress party has held nationwide protests against the surge in the prices of fuel and cooking cylinders. As Modi's cabinet is now built with several new faces, they will be the face of addressing the issues in the Parliament. 

According to the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha secretariats, BJP MPs Kishan and Meena would get an opportunity to introduce their respective private members' bills on July 24, which was decided through the lottery system. While BJP has a resounding majority in the Lok Sabha, the party must pass the bills with the support of the allied parties and the reports say that Uttar Pradesh's population control bill will be a pilot agenda, which will be carried out in the BJP-ruling states with Assam is in talks to implement similar population control bill. 

While BJP supports the population control bill, it has received flak from one of the Hindutva outfits - Vishva Hindu Parishad. The Hindu body has said that Uttar Pradesh's population control bill is likely to escalate the imbalance between different communities and contract the population. In a letter to the Uttar Pradesh State Law Commission on Monday, Vishva Hindu Parishad's working president Alok Kumar said, "The preamble of the bill states that this is a bill to stabilize the population and promote the two-child norm. Vishva Hindu Parishad agrees with this. However, sections 5, 6(2), and 7 of the bill, which incentivizes public servants and others to have only one child in the family go well beyond the said objects."
