The opposition leaders’ protests against the BJP government over the “cash-for-query” affair and the Ethics Committee’s demand that TMC MP Mahua Moitra be expelled in connection with the incident set the tone for a turbulent start to Parliament’s winter session. The BJP, known for its hawkish tactics, was hoping to corner the Congress-led Opposition on the floor of both Houses following their recent three-pronged success in the state elections.The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita Bill 2023, and Bharatiya Sakshya Bill 2023, which aim to amend the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860, Indian Evidence Act, 1872, and Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973, are among the important bills that are anticipated to be discussed during the session, aside from Moitra’s demand for her expulsion.
