Modi Government Accelerates Bill Passing Without Scrutiny
The article discusses how the Indian government, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been passing important laws quickly without proper discussion or checking.
This has been happening more often in recent years.
For example, a law about jobs and livelihood was passed very quickly, and many MPs said they didn't have enough time to read it.
The government also stopped sending laws to committees for review, which used to happen more often in the past.
This has led to problems, like a big drop in India's ranking for transparency.
The article also talks about farm laws that were passed quickly and caused big protests.
The government had to take back these laws after a lot of people protested.
The writer wonders why the government makes such big changes so quickly without thinking about the effects on people's lives.
The Viksit Bharat - Guarantee For Rozgar And Ajeevika Mission Bill, 2025 was passed quickly without adequate time for MPs to review it.
The rate of referring bills to committees for scrutiny has significantly decreased during the Modi era, from 60% in the 14th Lok Sabha to 16% in the second Modi government.
The Right to Information law was amended without committee scrutiny, leading to a decline in India's global ranking on the RTI index.
Farm laws were passed quickly and without proper discussion, leading to massive protests and eventual withdrawal by the government.
The government's haste in passing laws has been criticized for lacking public consultation and thorough parliamentary processes.
