Parliament Winter session Highlights: Amid protests over Cauvery issue, Rajya Sabha adjourned for the day
The triple talaq bill was expected to be tabled in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday after a united Opposition foiled the government’s attempt to push it in the Upper House on Monday as it insisted on referring it to the select committee of Parliament. However, amid protests of the Cauvery issue by AIADMK, and DMK, the Upper House has been adjourned for the day. The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2018, passed twice in the Lok Sabha in as many years, could lapse if it doesn’t get the approval of the Upper House by February, when the second phase of the Winter Session will be held.Here are the live updates:
