Budget session set for ‘EPIC’ showdown; budget, Waqf bill top priority for govt

Parliament’s Budget session resumes on Monday amid indications of an ‘EPIC’ showdown between the government and the opposition which is planning to raise issues such as the alleged manipulation of electoral rolls, the fresh bout of violence in Manipur and India’s handling of the Trump administration.

The focus of the government will be on getting Parliament nod for the demands for grants, completion of the budgetary process, seeking approval for the Manipur budget and passage of the Waqf Amendment Bill.

Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to move a statutory resolution seeking Parliament approval for the proclamation of President’s Rule in Manipur.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is also scheduled to table the budget for Manipur on Monday. Manipur has been under President’s Rule since February 13 after the resignation of Chief Minister N Biren Singh.
