“Since the government resolution was approved, the Speaker said, he saw no reason to take up the ten private resolutions moved by other members on the same subject. “As the time given by the President for the House to debate the Bill is coming to an end today, there is a need to conclude the discussion thereon. The Bill was tabled in the House on December 16 and 86 members participated in the debate. Almost all members expressed their views in writing and they shall form part of the official record,” he said.
He said 9,072 proposals for amendmentsexpression of views on the clauses of the Bill were submitted by members in writing and they too would form part of the official record.
“As agreed to in the Business Advisory Committee meeting, these records will be submitted to the President of India as the views of this House,” Manohar said.
The rejection of the Bill has come as an embarrassment to the Centre which has decided to table the Telangana Bill in the Parliament session beginning February 5.
