Amid speculation that the Food Security Bill will be pushed in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, the birth anniversary of Rajiv Gandhi, government on Monday said it would accept all ‘workable’ amendments.
Amid a large number of amendments from the opposition, parliamentary affairs minister Kamal Nath merely said government is willing to accept those amendments which are ‘workable’.
‘We are looking at this situation that if it is an amendment which is workable, the government will move that amendment. It will come in as an official amendment,’ Kamal Nath told reporters outside Parliament House when asked about 200-odd amendments.
Emerging from a meeting convened by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh here of ministers related to the rollout and implementation of the food security law, Nath also said Speaker Meira Kumar will take a decision Tuesday morning on what should be done about the protests by TDP MPs on Telangana issue.
Opposition leaders have been insisting that no bill should be passed in the din and that it wanted to participate in the discussion on the Food Bill.
