  • Parliamentary Bulletin
    RAJYA SABHA Parliamentary Bulletin PART-II Nos.: 50730-50734] THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 2013 No. 50730 Table Office Allocation of Time in Debates Members are aware that the Business Advisory Committee decides every week allocation of time for debates. Thereafter, the Table Office works out party-wise time allocation as per a settled formula for this purpose. Those parties which have a numerical strength of four or less as well as independent members have been designated as ‘Others’ and given a block time slot for the purpose of participation in debates. It has been found in actual practice that the Presiding Officer has difficulty in allocating and regulating the speaking-time of individual members because a full list of intending participants is not available at the commencement of a debate. To overcome this difficulty and to minimize reminders from the Chair, it has been decided to request members who wish to speak in a debate to give their names to the Table Office no later than 30 minutes prior to the commencement of a debate. ——— No. 50731 Table Office Recommendations of the Business Advisory Committee The Deputy Chairman made the following announcement in the House today (7-3-2013):— 2 “I have to inform Members that the Business Advisory Committee in its meeting held on the 7th March, 2013, has allotted time for Government legislative and other Business as follows:— BUSINESS TIME ALLOTTED 1.

  • What December 6 Means for India
    Essay What December 6 Means for India Mujibur Rehman Dec 5, 2015 The Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. File Photo (1992): Subir Roy The Hindu The demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992 by kar sevaks led by Hindu right-wing organisations reset India’s political discourse. In this essay, Mujibur Rehman analyses the reasons behind the shrinking of secular space and its implications for India’s politics and public discourse, the restructuring of the relationship between Indian Muslims and Hindutva ideology, and the manner in which Indian Muslims have responded to Ayodhya. December 6, 1992 was the darkest day in the history of modern India. On this day, the Babri Masjid was demolished by kar sevaks of the Ayodhya movement led by various Hindu right-wing organisations such as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Shiv Sena (SS), Bajrang Dal and others. The Hindu right-wing organisations would like to challenge such a formulation. On December 15 of the same year, the Narasimha Rao government that was running New Delhi dismissed the three BJP-run State governments of Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan by invoking Art 356. The demolition was seen as a pre-meditated one by most scholars and political commentators. The Congress leader, M. L. Fotedar, in his recent book titled, The Chinar Leaves: A Political Memoir (2015), has given a detailed description in a chapter titled, the Demolition of Babri Masjid (Fotedar 2015: 270-280) 1 . Fotedar considers Narasimha Rao “culpable” together with the RSS and its allied organisations.
