The Story in Brief
Parliament reconvenes on Monday after a weekend break, with only four working days left in the Monsoon session. The government has not clarified if it will take up contentious bills on delimitation and the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA), despite opposition protests that have stalled proceedings.
According to reports, the opposition, led by the Congress, is demanding a discussion on police action against students protesting over the NEET paper leak. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi twice to break the impasse, but no resolution has been reached.
The Indian Opinion
Opposition claims of an 'undemocratic power grab' on delimitation ignore the 50-year freeze mandated by the 42nd Amendment. The government's focus on a women's reservation bill linked to this census is an attempt to corner rivals. The real test is whether a consensus emerges on the floor of the House, or if both sides prefer a political slogan war over legislative substance.
