Agenda for today

• The bill seeks to promote the development of sports, ensure welfare measures for athletes, and enforce ethical practices aligned with international standards such as the Olympic Charter, the Paralympic Charter, and best practices from around the world. It also proposes a structured mechanism for resolving sports-related disputes fairly and efficiently.
• Union law minister Arjun Ram Meghwal is set to move amendments to the Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill, 2024, for further consideration.
• Congress MP Amar Singh and BJP MP Nishikant Dubey will present reports of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), detailing government action on earlier recommendations. These include reports on the misappropriation of funds in the Department of Posts, operationalisation of Sagar Prahari Bal, the Indo-Nepal Border Road Project, and management issues in the Delhi Police.
• The electoral college for the upcoming vice president election comprises 782 MPs from both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. If the opposition fields a candidate, the election is expected to be held on September 9.
• Sources indicated that Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju, along with BJP general secretaries, is coordinating with allies regarding the vice presidential poll.
• Mansukh Mandaviya appealed to the opposition, saying the bills were important and should be allowed for discussion.
• BJP MP Jagdambika Pal, presiding over the session, also urged members to allow proceedings to continue, noting that no bill had been passed since the monsoon session began.
• Rijiju later criticised the opposition for continuing disruptions into the third week of the session.
• Both Houses have faced multiple adjournments over the opposition’s demand to discuss the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in poll-bound Bihar.
• Rijiju reiterated the government’s position last week, saying, “I want to clarify that the government is ready to hold discussions on any issue as per rules. There cannot be a discussion on SIR because it is a process undertaken by a Constitutional body, and it is not happening for the first time…”

First, the offshore mining. Second, offshore atomic minerals mining. So, our request to the Govt of India is that they should discuss these matters with the State Govts before finalising it.

Parliament Monsoon Session live: MP Premachandran slams US President’s remarks as insult to India’s sovereignty
Parliament Monsoon Session live: Speaking on US President Donald Trump’s accusations that India’s oil imports from Russia are aiding the Ukraine war, RSP MP NK Premachandran strongly criticised the remarks, calling them an attack on India’s sovereignty.
“Unreasonable claims are being made by the American President. It seems to be an insult to the sovereign character of our country. How can the American President say all this? He is dictating the whole world on the basis of the tariff war. It is unfortunate that we have to react in the sharp sense because we are not subordinate to America or any other country. We are all equal partners. In such a situation, definitely the Govt of India has to react. The final reaction is good and well…All these observations of Mr President is an insult to the sovereign character of other characters,” he said.
