New Delhi: Copies of ten ordinances, which could not be converted into Acts of Parliament by the previous government in the last session of the 16th Lok Sabha, were tabled in both Houses of Parliament Thursday. The Union Cabinet had recently approved converting most of the ten ordinances into fresh bills to be introduced in the ongoing session of Parliament. Ministers of state for Parliamentary Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal and V Muraleedharan tabled the ordinances in both the houses which met briefly on Thursday. After the Narendra Modi government returned to power, it decided to give a fresh push to these proposed laws in the newly-constituted Lok Sabha.
These ordinances will have to be converted into laws within 45 days of the beginning of the session, else they will lapse. (PTI)
