The BJP and Congress have issued a ‘three-line whip’ for all its Lok Sabha members of Parliament, urging them to be present in the Lower House on December 13 and 14 during the scheduled debate on the Constitution of India.
A three-line whip is a strict instruction to attend and vote according to the party's position, a breach of which would normally have serious consequences.
The whip to the party’s Rajya Sabha MPs said that very important issues will be taken up in the Upper House in the upcoming special session.
These two Bills will be taken up by the Lok Sabha after they are passed by the Rajya Sabha and laid on the table of the Lok Sabha during the coming session.
Issuing the whip, the BJP said the special session will have five sittings during which all MPs have to be present in the House and support the government's stand.
Soon after the Supreme Court's verdict with its tough observations, the ruling Shiv Sena on Thursday was at a loss for words.
