Rajya Sabha green light to excise policy to curb tobacco consumption
NEW DELHI: Parliament on Thursday passed the Central Excise (Amendment) Bill, 2025, after the Rajya Sabha approved it and returned it to the Lok Sabha. The Bill amends the Central Excise Act, 1944, with the key objective of increasing excise duties and cess on multiple tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, hookah tobacco, chewing tobacco, zarda and scented tobacco. Replying to the discussion on the Bill, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman accused the West Bengal government of obstructing the states development despite receiving full assistance from the Centre. She insisted that the Centre had never neglected West Bengal. In fact, it is the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government that is hurting the growth of the people of West Bengal, she said while responding to points raised by TMC members. Referring to health coverage, she reminded the House that West Bengal withdrew from the Ayushman Bharat scheme in January 2019, adding, Is that good for the people of Bengal? Sitharaman said industries were steadily leaving West Bengal and listed several indicators of the Centres contributions. She noted that AIIMS Kalyani had been established and 11 medical colleges were approved under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme. She added that West Bengal received a record railway budget allocation of Rs 13,955 crore for 202526, more than three times the 200914 average outlay of Rs 4,380 crore. In addition, 101 Amrit Stations are being developed in the state at a cost of Rs 3,847.5 crore. The minister said that 1,650 km of railway lines had been electrified, bringing total electrification in Bengal to over 98%. She informed the House that more than 2,300 km of National Highways had been built since 2014. Responding to concerns raised by TMC MP Sagarika Ghose about the Central Road and Infrastructure Fund (CRIF), Sitharaman said that transfers had not been halted.
Opposition upset at V-P rejecting all notices under Rule 267
NEW DELHI: Rajya Sabha Chairman C P Radhakrishnan on Thursday clarified in detail on the scope and permissible use of Rule 267, stressing that the provision cannot be invoked to raise matters unrelated to the days listed agenda. His remarks come amid a sharp rise in notices from Opposition MPs seeking to suspend scheduled business and take up other issues. Throughout the ongoing winter session, all notices moved under Rule 267 have been rejected by the Chair for failing to meet the requirements of the rule. On Wednesday, he turned down two more such notices and said the rule was being misused through routine notices intended to suspend the days business. Radhakrishnan underlined that Rule 267 cannot be equated with an adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha, which is explicitly permitted under Article 75(3) of the Constitution. There is no constitutional or procedural provision authorising Rajya Sabha Members to give any adjournment notice in any manner A notice must specify the rule sought to be suspended and include a properly drafted motion. Any notice concerning a matter outside the List of Business is invalid, he said. Responding to the explanation, LoP Mallikarjun Kharge said MPs turn to Rule 267 because there is no chance of getting a short-duration or even a short notice question. He added, We are not getting the opportunity to discuss important things immediately the government is avoiding. Leader of the House JP Nadda disagreed, saying the government had not avoided any discussion and was prepared for every topic.

No excessive power to EC in ONOE Bill
NEW DELHI: At a meeting with the parliamentary panel on One nation, one election, the Law Commission said that the proposed power to the Election Commission that seeks to lay a legal framework to hold simultaneous polls to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies is not excessive. However, the provision of giving unfettered power to the EC in the proposed legislation has come under criticism from various quarters. The law panel top brass briefed the Joint Committee of Parliament examining the Bills on simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. During the briefing, members said the law panel also noted that the Constitution Amendment Bill does not require ratification by at least 50 per cent of the state assemblies to come into force. According to sources, Opposition MPs questioned the law commission officials on the constitutionality and adherence to the federal spirit in the Bill.The law commission officials briefed the committee members but were not able to give a satisfactory answer to the questions, an opposition MP said. Another opposition MP said during the meeting that elections at regular intervals provide a system of checks and balances, as after the Lok Sabha, the people can review their choices in the assembly elections, but this would not be there if simultaneous polls happen. The MP said that voters are the basis of democracy and elections at regular intervals strengthen democracy. According to an opinion rendered by the law commission to the joint panel, it has not even an iota of doubt that the proposed Article 82A(5) does not suffer from excessive delegation. Regarding the proposed legislations impact on the tenure of the House and state legislative assemblies, the commission argued that the bill introduces only a limited and rational curtailment, which does not infringe the basic structure in any manner. The power conferred upon the EC to recommend postponement of elections is neither arbitrary nor unbounded; rather, it flows naturally from the plenary constitutional authority that has been vested in the EC under Article 324, the law panel has said. The law panel underlined that the proposed amendment does not disturb the basic structure of the Constitution in any way. The commission said federalism as envisaged and formulated in the Indian Constitution is not that of compartmentalisation of different units; it is rather that of weaving different units together with a strong centre as the pivot.

Awareness drive to make India free of child marriage by 2030 launched
NEW DELHI: To reduce prevalence of child marriages to 10% by 2026 and to make India child marriage free by 2030, a 100-day intensive awareness campaign for a child marriage-free Bharat was launched on Thursday by Women and Child Development (WCD) Minister Annapurna Devi. The campaign will focus on targeted outreach each month: beginning with schools and colleges, followed by religious institutions and service providers, and culminating with local self-governments. Speaking at the launch of the intensive awareness campaign, which will run till March 8, celebrated as International Womens Day, Devi said, Child marriage snatches childhood away from daughters and pushes them towards early maternity and unimaginable suffering. She stressed that the country must adopt zero tolerance towards child marriage and urged states, civil society groups, and community leaders to unite with an unwavering commitment to eliminate the practice. She said though India has made historic progress, far more remains to be done. Even one child marriage is unacceptable for us, she said. The minister traced the journey from the Sarda Act, 1929 to the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006, noting that the legal framework had become stronger over the decades, yet harmful social norms persisted. Child marriage is not just a violation of the law. It takes away a daughters childhood and pushes her towards early maternity and unimaginable suffering,she said. WCD Secretary, Anil Malik, said that laws alone cannot eradicate the practice, child marriage a crime against humanity.
Soren meets allies amid buzz over change of guard
RANCHI: Putting an end to speculation that Jharkhands political equations might change in the coming days, the INDIA bloc in the state displayed unity during a meeting of alliance partners conducted by CM Hemant Soren on Thursday. The meeting, held ahead of the Winter Session of Jharkhand Assembly beginning December 5, was significant because rumours had circulated after Soren and his MLA wife, Kalpana Soren, visited Delhi, claiming they had allegedly met senior BJP leaders. These reports suggested dissatisfaction within the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) over the performance of its allies, the Congress and the RJD, in the recent Bihar polls. The concerns had intensified after the JMMs decision to withdraw from the 2025 Bihar elections, citing what it called a political conspiracy by its allies in Bihar. Days after the Mahagathbandhans rout in the polls, JMM general secretary Vinod Pandey said that it was time to review the alliance not only in Jharkhand, but at the central level too. However, after the Thursday meeting, sources said the coalition is focused on governance and the upcoming Assembly session. All four ministers from the Congress quota, along with Jharkhand in-charge K Raju and state Congress president Keshav Mahto Kamlesh, attended the meeting. All the 16 MLAs will be present during the Winter Session of Jharkhand Assembly and put the questions in the interest of the people of the state, said State Congress Chief Keshav Mahto. Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Radhakrishna Kishore said the speculation about a change in power had been proven baseless. He added, Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently stated during the winter session of Parliament that the Lok Sabha is a place for delivery, not drama. BJP MLAs should also keep this in mind. Agriculture Minister Shilpi Neha Tirkey said they would not allow the BJP narrative to succeed. Health Minister Dr Irnan Ansari said the BJP had no issues to raise and had resorted to drama. JMM ministers and MLAs, however, avoided speaking to the media.
