Kiren Rijiju said this
Union Minorities and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Reijiju said that in the meeting of the House’s Working Committee (BAC) headed by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, it was agreed to discuss this bill for eight hours which can be and can be increased in accordance with the spirit of the House. In the meeting, initial signs of sharp dispute between the ruling and the opposition were seen in the meeting when members of the opposition coalition ‘India’ walked out of the meeting and accused the government of pressing their voice.

He said that the opposition parties were demanding to allocate more time for discussion and wanted to discuss issues like Manipur’s status in the House and controversy related to voter ID card.
