New Delhi/IBNS: The Centres bill to control services and transfers of officers and bureaucrats in Delhi has been passed in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
The opposition MPs walked out of the house just after the Lok Sabha cleared the bill following a day of heavy exchange of arguments and counterpoints.
Home Minister Amit Shah defended the governments bill to override a Supreme Court order on who controls bureaucrats in the national capital.
This ordinance refers to the order of the Supreme Court which says parliament has the right to make laws on any issue related to the National Capital Territory of Delhi. There are provisions in the Constitution that allow the Centre to make laws for Delhi, Shah said, referring to the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023.
Before the bill was passed, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted that the same only sought to enslave the people of Delhi.
Today I heard Amit Shah ji speaking in Lok Sabha on the bill which snatches away the rights of the people of Delhi. They do not have a single valid argument to support the bill… They also know that they are doing wrong. This bill is a bill to enslave the people of Delhi. This is a bill that makes them helpless and helpless. INDIA will never let this happen, Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi before the bill was passed.

The Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government has been fighting a war against the Centre over the control of Group-A officers in the National Capital Territory (NCT) administration.
In May, the Centre made an ordinance that overturned the Supreme Court judgment handing over control of services in the NCT administration to the Delhi government. That ordinance was overwritten by the bill.
