New Delhi: The
Congress-led UPA government passed the contentious Telangana Bill amid
massive uproar and high-pitched Opposition in Lok Sabha on Tuesday.
In an unprecedented move, Meira Kumar ordered that the live
telecast of the proceedings be stopped as ministers from Seemandhra
sloganeered.
The Centre, unfazed by vehement protests, moved the controversial
bill on Tuesday for consideration and passage in the Lower House.
Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde moved the Andhra Pradesh
Reorganisation Bill, 2014 for consideration even though ministers and
MPs from Seemandhra region trooped into the Well of the House opposing
bifurcation of the state.
According
to CNN-IBN, as many as 67 amendments were passed clause by clause by
headcount. The Parliament was adjourned after the Telangana Bill was
passed. It will go to the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
The
doors were closed, live telecast was stopped, and Congress literally
bulldozed the Telangana Bill through the Lok Sabha, reports Times Now.
An amendment to make Hyderabad the sole capital of
Telangana was defeated. TV reports said that Hyderabad will be the joint
capital for Seemandhra and Telangana for ten years till new capital
gets created.
