    Published on July 14, 2014

    TRAI amendment bill 2014 is going to be taken up for discussion and passage in Lok Sabha on Monday. However, All India Trinamool Congress desires to move a loksabharesolution against the amendment bill.

    While, the bill is less likely to face any difficulty in the lower house, its fate in upper house hangs in balance as the numbers do not favour the ruling party.

    The war over the amendment in Trai act has begun with the protests by the Trinamool Congress on Friday when the government introduced a Bill in the Lok Sabha in this regard.

    The government seeks removal of the legal hurdles in the appointment of the former TRAI chairman Nripendra Misra as the Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

    An Ordinance was promulgated on 28th May appointing Misra to the post.There is no hurdle in passage of the bill in Lok Sabha as the ruling alliance has sufficient number in the house.

    But the government faces serious opposition in the Upper House Rajya Sabha as the ruling alliance NDA is not in the majority and will have to take support from the opposition .

    The BJP will have to negotiate with non-UPA parties to seek their support for the Bill in the Rajya Sabha.
