Opposition parties, including Congress and All India Trinamool Congress, have already taken a decision not to be part of the JPC but NCP-SP has decided to be a part of it. YRSCP is also expected to come on board.

The leaders of Opposition parties view the Bill as violating the fundamental principle of law, arguing that a person is innocent until proven guilty. However, the government is batting for this law, pointing out that Arvind Kejriwal refused to step down as Delhi Chief Minister despite his arrest in a criminal case.

Meanwhile, Birla appealed to all political parties to uphold the dignity of legislative institutions by ensuring their smooth and orderly functioning. He emphasised that democracy provides ample avenues to raise issues, express concerns, and engage in debate through peaceful, structured, and informed discussions. 

He cautioned that planned disruptions not only undermine democratic processes but also deprive citizens of meaningful deliberations and accountability.

In this regard, he made a strong pitch for preserving the dignity of the House, mentioning that orderly conduct of legislative proceedings is paramount.

Referring to the upcoming Winter Session of Parliament, the Speaker urged all political parties to ensure the smooth conduct of House proceedings.
