Former Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi’s maiden speech on the Delhi Services Bill in the Rajya Sabha on Monday caused massive furore in the Upper House as he gave his support to the controversial bill.
The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, will replace an ordinance promulgated by the Centre for handling the transfers and postings of officials in the Delhi government.
It was moved in the Rajya Sabha by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday.
Several MPs of the Opposition, including Jaya Bachchan (Samajwadi Party), Priyanka Chaturvedi (Shiv Sena UBT) , Vandana Chavan (NCP) & Sushmita Dev (TMC), walked out in protest of Gogoi’s speech.
“…To me the bill is correct, right,” Gogoi said.
“What is pending before the Supreme Court is the validity of the ordinance, and the two questions referred to the Constitution bench, and that has nothing to do with what is being debated in the House,” he added.
