The Story in Brief
Senior Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira has urged Punjab Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan to extend the ongoing assembly session for proper debate on six Bills, including proposals for three digital universities, GST, and contractual employees. Khaira said these Bills were introduced at the fag end of the session. He called the legislature 'not a rubber stamp for the Cabinet' and warned that hasty passage could hurt institutions, employees, and citizens for years.
The Indian Opinion
Khaira's charge that rushed Bills turn the Vidhan Sabha into a 'rubber stamp' has force, but his party did little different when in power. The real test is whether Speaker Sandhwan extends the session or lets the government barrel through. Punjab's digital university plans deserve scrutiny beyond a single day's debate. Will the Speaker announce an extension before the last working day?
