New Delhi: Parliament is set to consider the Bill aimed at replacing the Centre's Ordinance concerning the control of services in Delhi during this week's sessions. Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have placed the bill on their agendas for discussion.

Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, Arjun Ram Meghwal, apprised Lok Sabha about the government's business on Friday and disclosed that the bill is scheduled for official discussion in the following week.

Rajya Sabha was also informed about the government's forthcoming business by Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, V Muraleedharan, on the same day. The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, seeks to replace the ordinance issued by the Centre in May, which excluded 'services' from the legislative competence of the Delhi legislative assembly. This ordinance was implemented shortly after the Supreme Court's ruling on the control of services in Delhi.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been actively seeking support from opposition parties against the Ordinance. Members of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance are expected to oppose the Bill in Parliament. Despite the challenges, the government remains confident about the bill's successful passage.
