The Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed the UAPA amendment bill intended to allow designation of an individual, wanted for terror-related crimes, as “terrorist” amid strong protests and a walkout by opposition parties like Congress, DMK and Trinamool Congress.
The Lok Sabha witnessed a vote yet again as it did over the introduction of the triple talaq and the NIA (amendment) bills after the opposition parties had walked out. The bill, with its amendments to give more bite to anti-terror provisions, was passed 287 votes to eight.
