The second half of Parliament's Budget session begins on Monday, March 10, and key debates are on the cards. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will lay Manipur's budget in the House, and Home Minister Amit Shah will introduce a motion for the imposition of President's Rule in the restive state. Manipur has been under President's Rule since February 13 after Chief Minister N Biren Singh resigned. The Waqf Amendment Bill, which will deal with Muslim community issues, will be the government's top priority amidst opposition protests. The INDIA bloc will challenge the government on several fronts, including electoral roll manipulation and delimitation issues. This session guarantees heated debates as the Treasury and Opposition benches tussle over major legislative agendas and issues of governance. Source: Indian Express, Times of India
