The BJP-JJP government was on the back foot in the Assembly today on the issue of the Sports University of Haryana Bill, 2021, with the Congress forcing it to send the Bill to a select committee for reconsideration.
As soon as the Bill was taken up for consideration, the state government was in the firing line of Congress members, who alleged the Bill sought to give a raw deal to Haryana domicile candidates in admissions and jobs in the proposed university.
Bill to drop 'punjab' from state laws passed
The House passed the Haryana Short Titles Amendment Bill, 2021. With this, the short titles of Punjab Acts and East Punjab Acts as applicable to the state of Haryana will be amended. The Bill will eliminate confusion.
Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda said the Bill should be referred to the select committee.
Echoing similar sentiments, Congress leader Kiran Choudhry said that on the one hand, the state government had passed a Bill to provide 75 per cent quota in the private sector for Haryana residents and, on the other, there was no special privilege for state residents in the university.
Rohtak legislator BB Batra moved an amendment to the Bill, seeking reservation for Haryana domicile candidates.
At this, CM Manohar Lal Khattar intervened, saying the government would refer the matter to the select committee.
Later, Speaker Gian Chand Gupta announced a 15-member select committee, for which the Leader of the House and the Leader of the Opposition would recommend names.
Meanwhile, the House passed the Haryana Short Titles Amendment Bill, 2021. With this, the short titles of Punjab Acts and East Punjab Acts as applicable to the state of Haryana will be amended.
The House also passed the Punjab Labour Welfare Fund (Haryana Amendment) Bill, the Haryana Contingency Fund (Amendment) Bill, the Haryana Panchayati Raj (Amendment) Bill, and the Haryana Appropriation (No 2) Bill.
