Nadimul Haque speaks on The National Capital Territory (Special Provisions) Second (Amendment) Bill, 2017

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Sir, Delhi attracts people from all over India. Like the poor, even rich are coming. We are talking about demolishing slums. What about unauthorised farmhouses? Why is no one talking about them?

Why is the democratically elected government of Delhi not being allowed to run? The Lieutenant Governor, who is appointed by the Centre, is dictating terms to the elected government.

The situation has come to such an end that when the Prime Minister inaugurated a metro line few days ago, the Chief Minister of Delhi was not even invited. This political one-upmanship must stop.

Thank you, Sir.
