$\LS: Manish Tewari moves adjournment notice on govt procuring new spyware$
New Delhi: Congress MP Manish Tewari on Wednesday moved an adjournment notice in the Lok Sabha to discuss reports of the Government searching for new spyware and alleged that it violates Right to Privacy.
The notice states the Indian Government is in the market for new spyware. “The NSO, the company that manufactures and sells Pegasus, has been blacklisted by some countries.
“The report further reveals that the Government is willing to spend up to $120mn or around Rs 1000 crore.”

Around a dozen spyware sellers are expected to bid to the Indian Government.
“The procurement of such Surveillance Technology without parliamentary oversight has grave implications for the right to privacy of individuals guaranteed under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution.
“Under these circumstances, the House must adjourn to discuss the matter of the Government reportedly seeking to procure Pegasus-like surveillance technology.”
The notice says that this House does suspend Zero Hour and other businesses of the day to discuss the reported procurement of Pegasus-like surveillance equipment by the Government.

BRS MPs moved an adjournment motion in the Parliament today, demanding the tabling and passing of the Women’s Reservation Bill. The MPs in the adjournment motion also request an all-party meeting to discuss the Women’s Reservation Bill.
MLC Kavitha from the BRS party earlier this month sat on a day-long protest at Jantar Mantar, demanding the introduction of the Women’s Reservation Bill.
Bharat Jagruthi led by MLC Kavitha organized a round table conference in New Delhi that witnessed the participation of over 15 political parties, civil society organizations, and the student community.
MLC Kavitha-led Bharat Jagruthi will also soon be launching a ‘Missed Call Campaign’ to further the demand for Women’s Reservation Bill. Along with the campaign, there will also be round table discussions in colleges and universities across India to discuss the need for tabling and passing of the Women’s Reservation Bill.

Manish Tewari moves adjournment notice against Rahul’s disqualification

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Congress MP Manish Tewari on Monday moved an adjournment notice in the Lok Sabha against Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification.
The notice states, “That this House do suspend Zero Hour and other businesses of the day to discuss the disqualification of Shri Rahul Gandhi.
“The disqualification of Shri Rahul Gandhi from the membership of the House was a hasty and erroneous decision and not in consonance with the provisions of the Constitution of India.
“Article 102 (1) (e) of the Constitution provides that a person shall be disqualified for being chosen as, and for being, a member of either House of Parliament if he is so disqualified by or under any law made by Parliament.”
The notice says, “Article 103(1) provides that the decision as to the disqualification of members lies with the President of India. Further, Article 103(2) lays down that a decision on disqualification by the President must be preceded by mandatory consultation with the Election Commission of India.”
The notice further states, “Section 8(3) of the Representation of People’s Act, 1951 which triggered the disqualification mandates conviction and sentencing as two conjunctive prerequisites for disqualification which were not fulfilled since Shri Rahul Gandhi’s sentence has been suspended for 30 days.”
Tewari said the action is in violation of the basic principles of natural justice, contrary to the provisions of the Constitution, and beyond the legal competence of the Secretariat of Parliament.
“Under these circumstances, the House must adjourn to discuss this matter concerning the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi,” the notice said.
