Aadhaar bill passed |
Congress amended official business in Rajya Sabha by altering the Aadhaar bill, forcing the government to take the legislation to the Lok Sabha to overturn the changes and ensure its passage. On a day of high drama, the government of India used the provisions of a ‘money bill’ to override Rajya Sabha within hours of it passing five Congress-sponsored amendments to the Aadhar- after an engrossing debate between finance minister Arun Jaitley and Congress leader Jairam Ramesh—the mover of the five amendments in Rajya Sabha.
