25. Inside Manipur’s new battleground: The border outpost of Moreh
    https://scroll.in/article/1062898/inside-manipurs-new-battleground-the-border-outpost-of-moreh

26. 
    The current term of #LokSabha hasn't had a Deputy Speaker yet. This is unprecedented. It violates Article 93 of the #ConstitutionOfIndia & Govt is about to get away with it without any consequences.
    The current 17th Lok Sabha likely to be the full term LS with least number of #Parliament sittings, only 278 (approx, including the scheduled dates of upcoming last session). This is an average of only 56 days in a year. In 2020, #COVID19 became an excuse to bring down number of Parliament sittings to a historic low of only 33 days in a year. We plan to export #Aadhaar and #UPI to the world, but we couldn't convene virtual Parliament sessions, which many democracies did.
    With less number of Parliament sittings, Govt relied more on Ordinances - 76 Ordinances between 2014-2021. · The three controversial #farmlaws were first brought as Ordinances as people were busy surviving the first wave of Covid in 2020.
    How do less number of #Parliament sittings helps Govt: - Govt publishes a long list of Bills to be cleared - Opposition demands debate on various issues like #Pegasus, #FarmersProtest, #AdaniScam, #ManipurCrisis, #ParliamentSecurityBreach etc. - Govt says No, debate not needed - Opposition protests, there are disruptions - Govt says - many Bills pending, don't care that Opposition is protesting, or suspended or they walk out, Bills will be pushed Some Examples: - Winter Session 2023 - after unprecedented suspension of 146 MPs from Opposition, 14 Bills cleared by either or both Houses within just 3 days with minimal to no Opposition participation - Monsoon Session 2023 - in just one week Lok Sabha passed 7 Bills with an average time of 21 mins each only. The controversial #ForestConservation Amendment Bill passed in LS within 33 mins, only 4 MPs spoke. The Digital Personal #DataProtection Bill debated in LS for only 40 mins, only 8 MPs spoke. In RS the DPDP Bill was debated for only 50 mins, during which no Opposition MP participated. - Monsoon Session 2021 - Opposition demanding debate on #Pegasus, LS cleared 18 Bills amid protests, spending an average of only 15 mins on each. Some Bills cleared within 5-6 mins. - Monsoon Session 2020 - Opposition boycotted over Farm Bills fiasco, RS cleared 15 Bills in just 2 days, spending little less than 8 hours in total.
    The Govt doesn't believe in wasting time by sending Bills to #Parliament Committees for scrutiny. As per analysis done by PRS - 2009-14 - 71% of bills referred to Standing Committees Since 2019 - only 16% bills referred to Standing Committees Also, to control the process, Govt prefers to send controversial Bills to Joint Parliament Committees (on which Govt decides who to nominate), as opposed to Standing Committees. For instance, following Bills were sent to JPC instead of existing Standing Committees (which in most cases were chaired by Opposition MPs): o Land Acquisition Amendment Bill o Citizenship Amendment Bill o Personal Data Protection Bill o Forest Conservation (Amendment) Bill o Biological Diversity (Amendment) Bill
    Govt is extremely uncomfortable with #Questions: - Close to 290 Qs asked by Opposition MPs were deleted after they were suspended from #Parliament during the Winter Session 2023. There are no rules which provide for Qs to be deleted. - But, this was not the first time this happened. There are records of this happening in 2020, 2021 and even in 2015. - In 2020, Govt cited #Covid as an excuse to do away with Q Hour altogether during Monsoon Session of 2020. During Special Session of 2023 also, no Q Hour was conducted. - Ministries also evade Qs, ignore controversial sub-parts of Qs, give misleading or incomplete responses or simply say – #NDA No Data Available.

27. The accused have given statements in court that they were given electric shocks to link their association with opposition parties.
    Each accused person was forced to sign about 70 odd blank pages at different places on each page.
