Bengaluru: The government sounded political parties on scheduling legislat sessions in July in the midst of a decrease in Covid cases.
Many senior legislators, including the main officer, urged the government to hold sessions.
The source said the authorities were examining the possibility of holding one in July or August.
Apart from the receding pandemic, the central decision to call Monson Parliament’s session from July 19 appeared to have encouraged the state government to follow the lawsuit.
“This will be discussed in the cabinet and the main minister will receive the last call,” said Minister of Law and Parliament Basavaraj Bommai.
The Covid-19 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) argues that the current situation is not the prevention of conducting sessions.
“Guidelines issued for previous sessions have good and protocols to include mandatory vaccinations can be added,” said TAC Chairman Dr.
MK Sudarshan.
Basavaraj Horatti, Chair of the Legislative Council, has stepped further, asking a session held at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha in Bellagavi.
“The Beleagavi session cannot be held after 2018 for several reasons.
Although it is important to continue practicing, the main need is to call the Monsun session in line with the Convention to end it in June-July,” Horatti said.
As a precursor for a session, a meeting of 16 committee stands, which was detained because of covid-induced locking, continued on Monday.
While the Public Business Committee met on Wednesday to discuss the findings of CAG on unproductive PSU spending, the panel at the petition met on Thursday.
The Women and Child Welfare Committee, led by K Poornima, also met on Thursday and took inventory of steps taken to protect children against Covid-19 and preparedness for the third wave.
“Very encouraging the committee process has been continued.
Fixed with a positive trend, the Monsun session must also be held as early as possible,” said Viswanath Chandrashekhar Mamani, the representative of the legislative speaker, however, there was no urgency to call the session in July or August because the rules allowed Six months of gap between two sessions.
Because the budget session ended on March 26, the government had time until the end of September to call another session.
In addition, there are no important bills that are delayed except the amendment of Karnataka stamps that imagine reducing stamp duty on the registration flats at a cost below RS 45 Lakh from 5% to 3%.
“At present, it is important to discuss the impact of the pandemic about life and livelihoods and readiness for the third wave.
Also, problems such as agriculture, rain and flood situations must be discussed,” said Mamani.
