Congress, AAP issue whip sensing govt move on Delhi bill

Opposition parties are on alert after sensing the possibility of the government pushing in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday the bill to replace Delhi ordinance. Congress and AAP have issued whips to their MPs to be present in the House throughout Thursday. AICC also raised a caveat by demanding that no other business be conducted in Parliament till the disposal of the no-trust motion in the Lok Sabha. It remains to be seen whether the Opposition will continue with their protest over Manipur or stay back to vote against the bill as it can be otherwise pushed through amid protests.
