Parliament Highlights: Budget exercise completed as RS returns Appropriation, Finance Bill to LS, Houses adjourned

Parliamentary approval for the Budget 2024-25 was completed today with the Rajya Sabha returning the relevant legislations to the Lok Sabha after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's spirited reply to the debate emphasising that the budget was aimed at promoting investments and creating jobs. Amid widespread opposition of the amendment bill for Waqf board, the Modi government referred the bill to a Joint Parliamentary Committee. I.N.D.I.A. members had opposed the introduction of the Waqf Bill in the Lok Sabha, while NDA alliance members extended its support saying that it's not about temples and mosques. After the referral, the Lok Sabha saw the introduction of Bhartiya Vayuyan Vidheyak Bill. Thanks for staying with us as we tracked the proceedings in Parliament. We will be back tomorrow with more updates as the Houses convene again. Goodnight!
