RSP MP N Okay Premachandran spoke to Liz Mathew about why he opposed the introduction of the prohibition of Youngster Marriage (Modification) Invoice 2021 in Lok Sabha.
At present, Opposition MPs objected to the introduction of the Prohibition of Youngster Marriage (Modification) Invoice. Why?
This has turn out to be a traditional apply of the federal government to convey Payments with out prior discover as supplementary enterprise and get it handed. Yesterday, the election legal guidelines modification Invoice was additionally put as a supplementary for consideration and passing… Three levels of a Invoice — introduction, consideration and passing — on the identical day is just not a very good apply in any respect. Members of Parliament are even denied their proper to suggest amendments.
You had objections solely to the way in which it was launched?
For a laws, an important issue is its enforceability. Right here, it’s uncertain that the uneducated and unemployed ladies would wait until 21 in distant rural India.
The cupboard cleared the Invoice final week. Why do you assume the federal government has introduced it in a rush with out placing it within the checklist of companies earlier?
If the federal government has bona fide intentions to convey the Invoice, they might have very nicely put it within the checklist. The cupboard has cleared it earlier. The intent is missing because the Invoice has been hurriedly introduced in on the fag finish of the session.
However the Opposition’s demand for sending the Invoice to the Standing Committee has been accepted.
We’re completely happy that it’s despatched to the Standing Committee. However it has turn out to be a supplementary agenda regardless of having ample alternatives. Additionally, members have the suitable to oppose it on the time of introduction. By doing it in a rush, you might have denied that proper too as a result of one member ought to give a previous discover to oppose it on the introductory stage.
Previously too, the Opposition has raised objections to the way in which the federal government introduced in Payments. Is there any technique to handle this?
As per the rule, after the introduction of a Invoice, there’s a second studying which has two levels — dialogue on the overall rules of the Invoice, and the Home deciding whether or not the Invoice be referred to a choose, standing or joint committee. After getting the report, there are threadbare discussions on the Invoice. Sadly, this process can be flouted.
