New Delhi, August 10 The Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed the National Commission for Homoeopathy (Amendment) Bill, 2021, and the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (Amendment) Bill, 2021, amid din over the Opposition demanding a discussion on the Pegasus snooping row. The two bills were taken up by the Chair soon after the House passed a constitutional amendment bill that seeks to restore States’ power to make their own OBC lists.
While there was order in the Lok Sabha when the constitutional amendment bill was passed, Opposition members stormed the Well of the House as soon as the other two bills were taken up for consideration and passage. Both the bills were passed amid Opposition uproar following which the House was adjourned for the day.
