Owaisi demands debate on China, others in special session of Parliament
Hyderabad (PTI): AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has demanded a debate on the border issue with China, along with others, in the special session of Parliament convened by the government even as he said that any bill on 'one nation-one election' would be unconstitutional.
He demanded that the NDA government hold a comprehensive debate on China.
"China has encroached upon our 2,000 sq km. We had already demanded that a special session be convened. We hope and demand PM Modi that a comprehensive debate will take place on China in the special session. We lost land in Depsang and Demchok," he told reporters here Thursday night.
"...we are not able to patrol in 25 patrolling points (at the border)," he claimed.
He also demanded that the government breach the 50 per cent limit on reservations in the special session.
The Rohini Commission (on OBC sub-categorisation) has also submitted its report, he said.
Referring to media reports on 'one nation-one election' with regard to the special Parliament session, he claimed that it is "impossible".
"If such a bill comes, it will be unconstitutional. Federalism is a part of the basic structure of the Constitution. BJP does not have majority in Rajya Sabha. Assemblies would not pass it. No opposition-ruled state would accept it," he said.
The government should also announce the dates for the winter session of Parliament, he said.
There should not be a situation of winter session not taking place with Vote on Account happening directly in February, 2024, he said.
Owaisi, Lok Sabha member from Hyderabad, said ISRO scientists and Neeraj Chopra should be honoured in Parliament for their recent stellar achievements.
The national cricket team should also be invited to Parliament to convey best wishes as it would be participating in the World Cup, he said.
He alleged that the BJP-led government would like to do grandstanding over the coming G-20 meeting.
The government on Thursday announced a "special session" of Parliament for five days between September 18 and 22 but kept the agenda for it under wraps, triggering speculation.

Two arrested in K'taka for assaulting minors, uploading CSAM content
Bengaluru (PTI): Two men were arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two minor girls, recording the acts on mobile phones and uploading the videos online as child sexual abuse material, police said on Thursday.
The accused have been identified as Kiran Kumar (29), hailing from Chitradurga district, and Aditya M K (20), hailing from Shivamogga district, they said.
A probe was initiated after information was received from the NCRP portal regarding a suspected instance of creation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) for online dissemination, police said.
Accordingly, a case was registered at Kaggalipura Police Station under relevant sections of the IT Act on May 10, they added.
Investigation revealed that two minor girl victims were exploited and videos were created and uploaded to the internet. The child victims have subsequently recorded their statements as per procedure and further necessary legal steps have been taken, Pronab Mohanty Director General of Police, Cyber Command, said in a statement.
Based on the statements of the victims, the accused persons, who allegedly assaulted the minors, recorded the acts on mobile phones and uploaded the videos online, were arrested, he said.
Following the probe, sections 65(2) (rape) and 70 (gangrape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant sections of the POCSO Act, have been added to the FIR, police said.
Officials collected relevant information and on May 12, arrested the accused persons and seized three mobile phones belonging to them, in which the videos had allegedly been recorded, he said.
The accused were later produced before the court and taken into police custody for further investigation, he added.
According to him, in CSAM cases, police usually apprehend offenders who have downloaded such content or have kept them in their possession after obtaining them from elsewhere, usually the internet.
"The present case is one of the very few instances where content creators and uploaders have been apprehended," Mohanty added.
