Modi govt to table 8 Bills, propose extending President’s Rule in Manipur in monsoon session

New Delhi: Eight new Bills, a resolution to extend the President's Rule in Manipur and passing of the Income Tax Bill presently being examined by a Select Committee are among the tentative businesses proposed by the Narendra Modi government for the upcoming Monsoon of Parliament starting July 21.

The inclusion of the intent to bring a resolution to extend the President's Rule in Manipur indicates that the government has no immediate plans to revoke the measure imposed in the north-eastern state on February 13.
