Parliament Budget Session 2022 Live Updates: The government’s intention to bring the Criminal Procedure (Identification) Bill is to strengthen the law and order and internal security of the country, Home Minister Amit Shah said on Monday, asserting that concerns over human and personal rights have been taken care of in the draft legislation. The bill seeks to provide legal sanction to the police to take physical and biological samples of convicts as well as persons accused of crimes.
“A lot of the concerns will be addressed with the sending of that prison manual. It has various provisions relating to subjects such as rehabilitation of prisoners, making them part of the mainstream again, limiting the rights of jail officials, maintaining discipline, security of jails, separate jails for women and open jails,” Shah said.
Earlier on Monday, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned till Tuesday, after resuming at 2 pm following an adjournment, amid the ruckus created by the Opposition over the hike in prices of petroleum products and essential commodities. Opposition members staged protests over the issue in the Lok Sabha too. The Upper House was adjourned twice before being adjourned for the day. Three Rajya Sabha MPs – CPI’s Binoy Visvam, Congress’ KC Venugopal and TMC’s Abir Ranjan Biswas – had given suspension of business notices in the Upper House to discuss the rise in prices of fuel.
