Hon’ble Speaker of Lok Sabha, Smt.


Sumitra Mahajan, actively participated in the Assembly.

Addressing the Assembly on the theme ‘Human Rights Abuses as Precursors of Conflict: Parliaments as Early Responders’, she said that the very idea of conceptualization of human rights is to protect and promote all aspects and dimensions of human dignity.

Human rights are universal, non-violative, equal and non-discriminatory in nature.
Discrimination and deprivation is also the infringement of human rights which are visible in many parts of the world.

Millions of people are deprived of their human rights due to the challenge of terrorism and non-existence of democracy.

Democracy, good governance, rule of law and access to justice, and civil society engagement are essential for safeguarding fundamental freedoms and promoting and protecting human rights for all.
She further stated that Parliament, being the law making institution, shoulders the responsibility of safeguarding the interests of people in situations of human rights abuse by enacting various legislations and the Parliamentarians play a vital role in protection and promotion of human rights and also in preventing and responding to human rights abuse.

Emphasizing the role of democratically elected bodies and their mechanisms, she stressed that human rights can be safeguarded through good governance only.
Openness, transparency, responsibility, accountability, participation and meeting the needs of the people is necessary for protection and promotion of human rights.

Mentioning terrorism as the most dangerous and biggest violation of human rights and a crime against humanity, Hon’ble Speaker urged the international community and all the member States of IPU to come up with a coherent policy and strategy against terrorism.

Hon’ble Speaker of Lok Sabha, Smt.

While addressing the meeting, She said that BRICS being an important association of the five major emerging economies, comprising 43 per cent of the world M07 2 The Journal of Parliamentary Information population, having 37 per cent of the world GDP, and 17 per cent share in the world trade, the cooperation of BRICS nations, particularly the Parliaments and the members of Parliaments is very crucial in implementing the SDG’s.
Referring to the Meeting of BRICS Women Parliamentarians’ Forum held in August 2016 at Jaipur, Rajasthan, for enhancing parliamentary cooperation in furthering the agenda of BRICS, which unanimously adopted the Jaipur Declaration and India’s development agenda in achieving the SDGs, Hon’ble Speaker stated that the Government of India has launched various initiatives/programmes i.e, ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas’, ‘Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana’, ‘The Digital India Programme’, issues relating to ‘climate change’ and to ‘Protect and Promote Environment’ etc., which focus on inclusive growth to ensure that no one is left out in the development process.
She further said that parliaments, by ratifying international agreements, translating the SDGs into enforceable national laws, monitoring their implementation and ensuring government’s accountability on SDGs, act as powerful agents of change.

Parliamentarians use various parliamentary devices available to them to discuss and debate the subject matters concerning SDGs in the House, thereby, bringing the issues to the attention of public and the media.
The success in achieving the goals of SDGs depends on how well and effectively the nations, and especially the regional associations, cooperate among themselves by sharing experiences, technology and finance, she stressed.

SUMITRA MAHAJAN AT THE 135TH INTER PARLIAMENTARY UNION (IPU) HELD IN GENEVA, SWITZERLAND On 23 October 2016, Hon’ble Speaker of Lok Sabha, Smt.
Sumitra Mahajan, Addressed on “Human Rights Abuses as Precursors of Conflict: Parliaments as Early Responders” at the 135th IPU Assembly held in Geneva from 23 to 27 October 2016.

We reproduce the translated English version of the Address of Hon’ble Speaker, which was originally delivered in Hindi.

—Editor Mr. President and distinguished Delegates: The idea of human rights is rooted in human dignity and dignity is the identity of any individual.
The very idea of conceptualization of human rights is to protect and promote all aspects and dimensions of human dignity.

Human rights are universal, non-violative, equal and non- discriminatory in nature.

Discrimination and deprivation is also the infringement of human rights which are visible in many parts of the world.

Millions of people are deprived of their human rights due to the challenge of terrorism and non-existing of democracy.
Democracy, good governance, rule of law and access to justice and civil society engagement are essential for safeguarding fundamental freedom and promoting and protecting human rights for all.

The Parliament is the law making institution and therefore shoulders the responsibility of safeguarding the interests of people in situations of human rights abuse.
The Parliamentarians are mandated to work for welfare of the people and they play a vital role in protection and promotion of human rights and also in preventing and responding to human rights abuse.

The Constitution of India guarantees sacrosanct fundamental rights to all our citizens.

Our Parliament has enacted a number of legislations for promoting and protecting human rights especially those relating to women, children, differently abled, aged people and poor.
Some such legislations are: The Child Labour (Prohibition and Restraint) Act, 1986 M07 4 The Journal of Parliamentary Information the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 etc.

We have a National Human Rights Commission at the Centre, State Human Rights Commissions in States and Human Rights Courts for protection of human rights.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a system of Departmentally Related Standing Committees for ensuring specific scrutiny and oversight of executive by the Legislature.
We have a Parliamentary Committee on Petitions which can be approached by any individuals and associations for filing petitions on any matter.

There is a Parliamentary Committee on welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and another Committee on the welfare of other backward classes to look after the interests of weaker sections.

Besides, we have the National Commission for Women for safeguarding the interests of the women and National Commissions for Minorities and other Backward Classes.
Distinguished Delegates, our citizens get ample opportunities to raise various issues through democratically elected bodies right from local bodies to national Parliament.

The diverse interests of different sections and groups of our society get due attention in such bodies which reduces the scope for conflicts.

Many of my distinguished colleagues may be aware that one-third of seats in our rural and urban local bodies are reserved for women.
In fact many of our States have already raised such reservation in rural local bodies to fifty per cent.

Our Parliament is committed for promoting gender equality in social, economic and political arenas.

Distinguished Delegates will agree that human rights can be safeguarded through good governance only.

Openness, transparency, responsibility, accountability, participation and meeting the needs of the people is necessary for protection and promotion of human rights.
Today, e-governance has emerged as a means to further transparent, accountable and speedy governance.

We all know that violation of human rights is both the cause and outcome of violent conflicts.

All the countries should strive to prevent human rights violation and should find out a way to diffuse the situation to check such violation turning into conflicts.
Strengthening the grievances redressal mechanisms, including the justice delivery system and making the democratic institutions truly representative will go a long way in protecting human rights.

Moreover, we should also aim at evolving a culture of respect for human rights at all levels so that a situation of conflict does not arise.

An independent and impartial judiciary, free and independent media, a robust civil society together can play a pivotal role in protecting human rights.
Jai Mata Di Address by the Speaker of Lok Sabha, Smt.

Sumitra Mahajan 5 Parliament as the highest body can also play a pivotal role in transforming the structural and systematic conditions that give rise to violence.

Parliament can take appropriate measures to target social and economic inequality, disparity and discrimination.

Beside, awareness campaigns and programmes can be used to evolve an informed society in which a rightful place is accorded to human rights.
We need to strengthen Parliamentary surveillance over the executive and call it to account for any violation of human rights so as to increase people’s trust in the system.

In this era of globalization, other countries get affected by success or failure of any country.

In this backdrop, the responsibility to protect that was unanimously endorsed by all United Nations member States in paragraphs 138 and 139 of the 2005 World Summit outcome documents looks promising.
Accepting collective responsibility to assist each other in protecting populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity is a very responsible concept.

Together we can overcome the challenges in transforming the right to protection principle into a successful practice.

Ladies and gentlemen, crimes against humanity and other gross violations of human rights undermine the fabric of our society.
Such things destabilizes nations and even the entire region and poses threat to international peace and security.

Distinguished delegates may agree that today terrorism has emerged as the most dangerous and biggest violation of human rights and it is a crime against humanity.

I call upon the international community to come up with a coherent policy and strategy against terrorism.
In order to mitigate human rights violation it has become imperative to have the policy and strategy against terrorism in black and white.

Women and children suffer the most due to war.

Children are our depository.

We will have to protect human rights with all might because the future of our children and society depends on them.
A comprehensive mapping of the human rights and humanitarian law violation is required to determine as to what combination of law, regulations and policy is best suited for redressal of the situation.

Member States of IPU can benefit from the data base and knowledge about comparative experiences and lessons learnt from such occurrences.

Careful analysis of this knowledge base can enable IPU to give technical advice, material support to Governments.
National Human Rights Institutions and civil society can empower the affected States to take considered decisions.

IPU can help in setting up of such institutions Jai Mata Di 6 The Journal of Parliamentary Information and implementation of programmes in the affected countries to guarantee safety and dignity to victims of human rights violation.

Human rights abuses are indeed precursors of conflict and violence which can threaten peace, prosperity and progress of a nation.
A timely and appropriate response from Parliament can prevent the abuse of human rights and thus help in maintaining peace which is essential for development.

In India we see the promotion of Human Rights an effective means to achieve the ultimate goal of promoting economic and social advancement of all people on this planet.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Jai Mata Di m12 dc16 ‘BRICS Parliamentary Co-operation in Implementation of SDGS’ 7 2 ADDRESS BY THE SPEAKER, LOK SABHA, ON ‘BRICS PARLIAMENTARY COOPERATION IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SDGS’ AT THE MEETING OF BRICS PARLIAMENTARY FORUM HELD ON THE SIDELINES OF THE 135TH IPU ASSEMBLY, GENEVA, 23 OCTOBER 2016 A meeting of Speakers and Presiding Officers of parliaments of the BRICS Parliamentary Forum was held on the sidelines of the 135th IPU Assembly, in Geneva on 23 October 2016.
Hon’ble Speaker of Lok Sabha, Smt.

Sumitra Mahajan, attended the meeting and made the opening remark on ‘BRICS Parliamentary Cooperation in the Implementation of SDGs’ at the Meeting.

We reproduce below the text of the Address.


—Editor Honourable Chairperson and Distinguished Delegates: It is indeed a matter of great pleasure for me to associate myself with you all today at this Meeting of BRICS Parliamentary Forum to discuss and deliberate on one of the most important topical global issues ‘Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)’.

The question before us is how we, the Members of BRICS Parliamentary Forum can deliver effectively in the process of the implementation of the seventeen SDGs.
The post-2015 development Agenda which represents a comprehensive list of global goals integrating the social, economic and environmental dimensions of development is notable and relevant for many reasons.

It emphasizes inter alia ending poverty and hunger, ensuring health, quality education while promoting inclusive growth.

It also seeks to achieve gender equality and empower women everywhere.
Building on the success and momentum of the SDGs, in fact, cover more grounds, with ambitious plans to address various developmental issues, in particular environmental hazards.

Under Goal 13, the imperative to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts has been especially highlighted.

Needless to say, addressing such huge tasks needs concerted efforts at national, regional and global levels to Jai Mata Di M07 8 The Journal of Parliamentary Information succeed in our endeavours.
The success in achieving the goals of SDGs depends on how well and effectively the nations, and especially the regional associations, cooperate among themselves by sharing experiences, technology and finance.

In this context, I would like to underscore that practices, problems and experiences thereon are country specific.

Every country faces peculiar challenges and may follow different approaches, visions, models and tools as available to them, in accordance with the national circumstances and priorities.
As far as achieving these goals are concerned, right from the beginning, India has its own vision of development which is now mirrored perfectly in the SDGs.

The focus of our development is on inclusive growth to ensure that no one is left out in development process.

We have the mission ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas’ means participation of all and development of all.
One of the important initiatives taken by the government for financial inclusion is ‘Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana’ providing for opening of accounts even with zero balance.

‘The Digital India Programme’ has been started to transform the country into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.

So far protecting and promoting of the environment is concerned, in India, we have a great respect for nature.
In fact, there has been traditions and practices to worship mountains, rivers and trees from times immemorial.

Friends, as we all know, BRICS has emerged as an important association by bringing together five major emerging economies, comprising 43 per cent of the world population, having 37 per cent of the world GDP and 17 per cent share in the world trade.
Starting essentially with economic issues of mutual interest, the agenda of BRICS meetings has considerably widened over the years to encompass topical global issues.

I welcome taking up such issue by BRICS.

In this context, the cooperation of BRICS nations, particularly the Parliaments and the members of Parliaments is very crucial in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals.
Friends as you all know, in India, we have hosted Meeting of BRICS Women Parliamentarians’ Forum in August 2016 and the issue of implementation of SDG's was discussed and deliberated upon.

The Meeting was an endeavour on the part of the BRICS Women Parliamentarians for enhancing parliamentary cooperation in furthering the agenda of BRICS, which unanimously adopted the Jaipur Declaration.
Reiterating what I had mentioned there, I must say successful implementation of the SDG's in the BRICS countries should begin with a focus on the indigenous ways of achieving the SDGs and in meeting the challenge of climate change.

Making changes in life styles will make us less dependent on energy and more sustainable in our consumption.
Jai Mata Di ‘BRICS Parliamentary Co-operation in Implementation of SDGS’ 9 I strongly believe that mobilization of financial resources as well as capacity building and transfer of technologies to developing countries on favourable terms is the key in the implementation of the SDGs.
I do believe that women Parliamentarians have special responsibilities in mobilizing the participation of citizens, engaging them in governance processes, helping to define development priorities and providing leadership to grassroots organizations and initiatives.

There is no need to emphasize that Parliaments are powerful agents of change.
It is by ratifying international agreements, translating the SDGs into enforceable national laws, monitoring their implementation and ensuring government’s accountability on SDGs that Parliaments can drive that change.

Parliamentarians can use various parliamentary devices available to them to discuss and debate the subject matters concerning SDGs in the House and thereby, bringing the issues to the attention of public and the media.
Parliaments can ensure that an inclusive and participatory political dialogue is followed in shaping national developmental priorities within the broader framework of SDGs.

Through parliamentary reviews of proposed governmental expenditures, Parliaments can ensure adequate financial resources are allocated to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals and the same are reflected in national and local budgets.
The mechanism of Parliamentary Committees can be further strengthened to influence the governmental policies on SDGs.

The cooperation and exchange of experiences among the legislative bodies of BRICS nations is crucial for making it an important platform of discussion and consultation on vital issues of global politics and economy towards overall developments.
I am confident that today’s discussion on this BRICS Parliamentary Forum will benefit each one of us in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in our respective countries.

I do reiterate the commitment of the Indian Parliament in extending cooperation to regional and international efforts towards achieving the SDGs and urge for greater cooperation among the BRICS Governments and Parliamentarians.

Thank you.

He will always be remembered in the history of our democracy as a responsible and courageous man with gracious conduct and high moral values.

During his tenure as Lok Sabha Speaker in the Ninth Lok Sabha, he remained above party politics and considered Parliament proceedings as a means to a great end.

He earned respect, admiration and appreciation, and upheld dignity, grace and stature to the exalted office of the Speaker of Lok Sabha.

This simplicity and humility have been worthy of emulation.
Shri Rabi Ray had special interest in reading and always remained close and connected to the people at grass root level of our nation.

He has many literary accomplishment to his credit, i.e., he edited ‘Samata’ an Oriya monthly, ‘Chaukhamba’, a Hindi weekly and wrote a book on “Parliamentary Diplomacy”.

He also regularly contributed articles on contemporary political and social issues to various leading journals.

He was a great orator.


As a socialist leader, he championed the cause of the down trodden, particularly the workers and the peasantry.

He also used to deliver lectures on various socio-economic and political issues at different National and International institutes.

Rabi Ray, born on 26 November 1926, in Bhanagarh Village in the Puri district of Orissa*, was influenced by freedom struggle and social movements at a very young age.
In 1948-49, he was elected as the President of the prestigious Ravenshaw College at Cuttack.

He was also the first President of the Madhusudan Law College Student's Union in 1949-50.

With his inborn patriotism, he was deeply drawn to the freedom struggle.

He was arrested for the first time during his graduation for unfurling the National Flag in Ravenshaw College and became a youth icon.
As a passionate believer in socialism, he aimed at not only driving the British rulers out of India but also to secure justice to the * Now known as Odisha Jai Mata Di M07 Rabi Ray: The Speaker and the Parliamentarian 11 oppressed and downtrodden people of India.

By doing so he always remained at the forefront of socialist movement till the end.

Rabi Ray joined Socialist Party in 1948, as a member and was later honoured with the post of Joint Secretary of the All India Samajwadi Yuvak Sabha.
Under the leadership of Dr. Rammanohar Lohia, in 1956, he founded the Socialist Party in Orissa.

During that time he was also a member of the National Executive of the Socialist Party and even became the General-Secretary of the party.

Rabi Ray was elected to the fourth Lok Sabha in 1967 from the parliamentary constituency of Puri, and subsequently in 1989 to the Ninth Lok Sabha from the Kendrapara parliamentary constituency.
He was also elected to Rajya Sabha in 1974 from Orissa and completed his full term.

During the Ninth Lok Sabha, amid unprecedented political uncertainity, he was unanimously elected as the Speaker to preside over the House.

Accolades and felicitations were showered on Shri Ray in the House following his assumption of office of speaker.

The then Prime Minister Shri V.P.


Singh, congratulating the Speaker, said: “Sir, your long experience of public life and political acumen will stand you in good stead in conducting the business of the House.

From your student life, you have been a freedom fighter to the core and struggle for freedom had become synonymous with your life.

Being an ardent believer in socialism, you aimed not only at driving the British rulers out of India but also aimed at securing justice to the oppressed and down-trodden.
We therefore, believe that the voice of the poor raised in the House will receive your due attention”.

Gracefully acknowledging the warm felicitations from his parliamentary colleagues, Shri Ray in his characteristic humility said: “I assure the Members that so long as I hold this office I shall be above party politics and shall try my level best to follow the rich traditions established by my illustrious predecessors in this august office.
We must all remember that this House is the highest representative Panchayat of the 1.25 billion common people of India.

As such, it must not only reflect the hopes, urges and aspirations of the common people but also their frustrations and sorrows.

Dwelling on the desirability of considering change and revision of some of the parliamentary procedures in the light of changing needs, Ray said: “Parliamentary procedure is not an immutable thing.

It is a means to a great end.


If necessary, we can have a fresh look at some of our rules and regulations.

Our Rules Committee can go into this matter with a view to ensuring speedy, smooth and effective transaction of business”.

The working of Lok Sabha took a new Jai Mata Di 12 The Journal of Parliamentary Information direction during his tenure as he tackled challenges with finesse and steadfastness, and created opportunities to elicit issues causing distress to the common people.
During his tenure as the Speaker of Lok Sabha, for the first time on 20th December 1989, the President’s Address in the Central Hall was telecast and broadcast live.

Rabi Ray later formed a joint sub-committee to examine the popularity, technical achievability and cost involved in televising the proceedings of the two houses as he strongly believed it would bring parliament closer to the people.
To further strengthen parliament’s role in strengthening democracy, he lead various Parliamentary Delegations to various countries to promote Parliamentary cooperation and understanding within fraternal parliaments.

Another valuable contribution he made is celebration of the Birth Anniversaries of eminent parliamentarians by holding meetings, seminars, symposia etc., and by publishing monographs under the “Eminent Parliamentarians Series”.
Rabi Ray was also responsible for introducing the Subject Committees thus paving ways for setting up the Departmentally-Related Standing Committees, which become tools for parliamentarians for examining the policies and programmes of the government and ensure accountability of the executive to the legislature.

This in due course became an important instrument for refining the process of the governance.
Their reports are used for streamlining the policies and programmes of the Government which, in turn, make the bureaucracy accountable for implementation.

This whole process strengthens parliamentary democracy and upholds the supremacy of parliament.

As guardian of the House and avowed proponent of democratic pluralism, he changed the regulation of Zero Hour to streamline the proceedings of the house for better utilization of time during Zero Hour.
He evolved an institutional arrangement under which seven members were allowed to make brief statements after ensuring the views of the leaders of different parties and group in the house, where members articulate matter of urgent public importance.

This saves precious time of the house and has stood the test of time.

Rabi Ray made an indelible mark as a committed leader and respected parliamentarian.
He withdrew from active politics after the tenth Lok Sabha and even refused to accept the offer to become the Governor of a State.

Besides his notable political contributions, he was actively associated with several socio-cultural organizations including the Lohia Academy and Gram Vikash Foundation.

He continued to advance the cause of the poor and under privileged through outreach Jai Mata Di Rabi Ray: The Speaker and the Parliamentarian 13 programmes voluntary organizations conversations and writings.
Since 1997 he was leading people’s movement through a non political organization Lok Shakti Abhiyaan.

He continued his work as a social leader till he was indisposed due to old age.

His sad demise was mourned by one and all.

The President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee described Shri Ray as a freedom fighter, a veteran socialist leader and an eminent parliamentarian, who served the nation in various capacities including as the Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare and the Speaker of Lok Sabha.
In her Condolence Message, Speaker of Lok Sabha Smt.

Sumitra Mahajan said “Shri Rabi Ray a senior leader with deep commitment to the welfare of the people, was endowed with inherent simplicity and had deep faith in humanist ideals and democratic ethos.

As the Speaker of Lok Sabha, he conducted the proceedings of the House with ease, affability, simplicity and upheld the prestige and dignity of the Chair”.

The Chief Minister of Odisha Shri Naveen Patnaik also paid rich tributes to Shri Rabi Ray.
He said, “As a Union Minister and Lok Sabha Speaker, Ray had established a rich tradition in the conduct of the House.

He worked with commitment for socialist ideas and moral values in life”.

After this decision of the management, the Principal of the school and eight teachers resigned from their post in protest.

This school was being run without being recognized by the concerned authorities and without any valid registration but was awarding Educational Certificates illegally for the last 15 years.
An act of prevention of singing of Indian National Anthem is punishable under Section 3 of the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971, which prescribes that whoever intentionally prevents the singing of the Indian National Anthem or causes disturbances to any assembly engaged in such singing shall be punished with imprisonment for a term, which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both.

In the evening of 7th August 2016, the police received information that the manager of the said school was giving a T.V interview and some persons started opposing the same, which created a law and order problem.
The Police Station of Colonelganj, therefore, registered a case No.

709/16 under Sections 143/147/323/152 A and CLA Act against 7 persons and other unknown persons including the manager of the School.

In a sequel to the said event, Colonelganj Police Station registered another case No.

The room of the manager and class rooms of the said school were sealed.

The local police have filed the Charge Sheet against the accused persons in the case before the Hon’ble Court on 11.10.2016.

The Minister assured the august House that it is the endeavour of the Government that every citizen of our country takes pride, upholds the dignity and respects our National Anthem.
Jai Mata Di 36 The Journal of Parliamentary Information Statement by Minister regarding negotiations in 28th Meeting of Parties to the Montreal Protocol held in October, 2016 in Kigali, Rwanda: On 14 December 2016, the Minister of State in the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Shri Anil Madhav Dave made a suo moto statement on the negotiations held under the Montreal Protocol for control of ozone depleting substances that was held in Kigali, Rwanda from 6 to 14 October, 2016.
The Meeting adopted an amendment to the Protocol which is historic and aimed at phasing down the Hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs) that contribute to global warming.

The Minister informed the august House that the HFCs do not deplete the Ozone layer.

However, they have high global warming potential.


The amendment to Montreal Protocol agreed in Kigali has facilitated the creation of an international regime of regulatory actions and financial support for treating this set of chemicals in the same manner and with the same urgency as was accorded to other Ozone Depleting Substances in the past.
The Minister said that the negotiations for phasing down of HFCs under the Montreal Protocol were initiated way back in 2009, but these negotiations gathered momentum only after India submitted an amendment proposal to phase down HFCs under the Montreal Protocol in April, 2015.

The Indian Amendment proposal was crafted to balance the needs of our rapidly growing economy and achieve maximum climate benefit.
Notably, India represents only around 2 per cent of the global production and consumption of HFCs but our manufacturing and consumption sector is expected to grow at a rapid pace in future.

Our challenge, therefore, was to secure international agreement on a regulatory regime that served the global expectations and yet protect our national interest.
India has been a strong advocate of the principle of Common but Differentiated Responsibility in the matter of global actions to protect environment and also that national circumstances need to be factored in for arriving at any durable agreement related to climate.

At the commencement of negotiations in Kigali, the developed countries had suggested one single common baseline years for production and consumption of HFCs for developing countries i.e.

2017-2018-2019 and freeze year as 2021.


However, various developing countries proposed as many as six different baselines range from 2017 to 2030, and freeze year ranging from 2021 to 2031.

India piloted realistic baseline of 2024- 2026 for developing countries and which protects India’s interests.

As per the agreement reached in Kigali, India will freeze its manufacturing and consumption of HFCs in 2028 and start reducing it from 2032 to 2047 with reference to the baseline years 2024, 2025 and 2026.
The Jai Mata Di Sessional Review 37 Freeze year is subject to technology review and could be further deferred to 2030.

The agreement facilitates adequate carbon space for growth on domestic industry while minimizing the cost to the economy during the transition period.

India had consistently taken a position that the baseline and freeze years should be at such a future date which allows for growth of economy while minimizing cost to the economy.
The Indian delegation also had steadfastly raised the issues of Intellectual Property Rights of non-HFC technologies, the high cost of these technologies and resultant cost to economy in transitioning away from HFCs.
In the Kigali Amendment, it has been agreed that the developing countries will have two set of baselines–one for the early movers in which case it will be 2020-2021-2022 and the other for those whose national circumstances were different and the manufacturing of HFCs and consumption in whose case was still rising in the absence of clear alternative technologies.

In case of such countries the agreed baseline year are 2024, 2025 and 2026.
At the same time, it has also been agreed that the developed countries will reduce their production and consumption of HFCs by 70 per cent in 2029.

India will complete its phase down in 4 steps from 2032 onwards with cumulative reduction of 10 per cent in 2032, 20 per cent in 2037, 30 per cent in 2042 and 85 per cent in 2047.

The Montreal Protocol had no arrangement till date to incentivize improvement in energy efficiency in case of use of new refrigerant and technology.
On India’s initiative, it was agreed in Kigali that the Multilateral-Fund under the Montreal Protocol will pay for maintaining or increasing the energy efficiency with new technology.

Funding for R&D and servicing sector in developing countries has also been included in the agreed solutions on finance.
The success of negotiations at Kigali is a result of the spirit of collective action, accommodation and flexibility by all the parties to ensure the best possible outcome which addresses the needs of all countries and leads to maximum climate benefits.

The Minister said that India has been able to secure an agreement that provides adequate space for growth of our economy, while providing adequate time for industry to shift to sustainable alternatives in the interest of environment.
The agreed arrangements will minimize the cost to consumers in transitioning away from HFCs and provide for domestic innovation to develop in the sector of new generation refrigerants and related technologies.
The Minister also thanked the Hon’ble Prime Minister, under whose constant and active guidance the team approached Jai Mata Di 38 The Journal of Parliamentary Information the negotiations with a positive, flexible and constructive mindset and were able to convince the international community of the interests of India and similarly placed developing countries.

LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS The Taxation Laws (Second Amendment) Bill, 2016: On 29 November 2016, the Minister of Finance and Minister of Corporate Affairs, Shri Arun Jaitley, moving the motion for consideration of the Bill, said that the Hon’ble Prime Minister had made an important announcement on 8th November, 2016 to this effect that from the midnight of 8th November, 2016, high denomination currency notes of 500 and 1000 will cease to be legal tender.
The Minister said that the objective behind taking this decision was to remove the black money from the political and economic structure of the country which was being used for tax evasion and corruption, etc.

After 8th November, 2016, there were certain cases in which various people were found trying to exchange these currency notes illegally which had ceased to be legal tender.
Keeping in view these activities going on in the market, Government has brought this Amendment in Income Tax Laws and Finance Bill as per its plan.

The Minister further said that the basis of this Amendment is that people caught trying to exchange such black money by any illegal means, 60 per cent tax along with the penalties will be imposed under the provision of this Bill.

In total, 85 per cent tax alongwith penalty would be imposed in this case.
Apart from that, if any person deposits such black money in bank and discloses it, then 50 per cent tax will be imposed alongwith the surcharge and penalties applicable to it.

Besides, out of remaining 50 per cent the person who deposits black money in such a way, will get 25 per cent of the amount and remaining 25 per cent of the amount will be given to him after lock-in period of four years.

In all, this money will be infused into the mainstream of the country.
This will also add resources to the Union Government and Garib Kalyan Kosh will be set up through these resources.

This fund will be used for poverty alleviation in the rural areas.

The Minister urged upon the august House to accept this Amendment.

The Bill was passed without discussion.


The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill, 2016: On 16 December 2016, the Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment, Shri Thaawar Chand Gehlot, moving the motion for consideration of the Bill, said that the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill, 2016 is meant for making effective the United Nations Convention on the rights of the Jai Mata Di Sessional Review 39 disabled persons and matters related and subjects incidental thereto.
The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act was enacted in our country in the year 1995 and thereafter in the year 2007 the United Nations Organization held consultations with a number of countries and suggested a number of measures for the empowerment of the disabled persons.

The Government of India, too, signed this convention and as per that there is a need to take measures for empowerment of the disabled in our country as well.
It was felt that the Act of 1995 which has been in force in our country, is not enough to empower them.

As such, we have made an effort to bring about revolutionary changes in the Bill introduced by us as compared to the old Bill.

Under this Bill, there are 21 categories of the disabled instead of 7 so that no disabled persons would remain deprived from getting the benefit of the Union or State Government and they could be empowered in an expeditious way.
In this Bill, provision has been made for 4 per cent reservation for the disabled instead of 3 per cent.

It is expected that similar provisions will be made in the States by the respective State governments as well.

There will be an Advisory Board at the Union and State level for the empowerment of the disabled.

There will be a system of commissioners at the Union and State level to deliberate upon the empowerment of the disabled.
There will be a Chief Commissioner and two Commissioners out of which one will be from the disabled category.

We have made enough provision in this Bill to remove the social, economic, educational, physical, mental and intellectual disabilities of the disabled persons.

Provision for extending medical facility has also been made.

There is provision to promote sports activities for them.
It would not be wrong if I state that every type of provision has been made in this Bill for the all round development of the disabled.

The Minister urged the House to consider and pass this Bill.

Initiating the discussion*, Shri K.C.

Venugopal (INC) said that this piece of legislation, which is dealing with the rights of the disabled persons, is the most important legislation and needs a special consideration.
This Bill will benefit a large number of individuals with multiple impairments, who are the most disadvantaged sections of people amongst the citizens.

But the quota of reservation has been reduced from 5 percent to 4 percent.

As far as the concession of education is concerned, the * Others who participated in the discussion were: Sarvashri Rajesh Ranjan, Dushyant Chautala, Kaushalendra Kumar, Varaprasad Rao Velagapalli, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Vinayak Bhaurao Raut, Tathagata Satpathy, Mohammad Salim, N.K.
Premachandran, Dr. Ravindra Babu and Shrimati Kavitha Kalvakuntla.

Jai Mata Di 40 The Journal of Parliamentary Information unaided institutions should also be incorporated in the provision.

Every private institution or company should also come into the purview of this Bill.

As far as the provision of Commissioner is concerned, more powers should be given to the Commissioners.
People’s representatives should be there in district level committees and Members of Parliament should be made a part of the Committee in the State level Committees.

Shri Venugopal said that this Bill will create a remarkable change in the lives of the disabled people of India.

Joining the discussion, Dr. Manoj Rajoria (BJP) said that the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill, 2016 is a very good Bill that is introduced in the Lok Sabha for the benefit of 7 to 10 crore disabled persons in the country.
This Bill would prove a major mile-stone in enhancing the self respect of the disabled persons.

All provisions have been provided in this Bill to ensure the rights for disabled persons to enable them to lead an equal life in the society.

It has also been ensured in the Bill that the rights of such persons are not violated by any person or any institute.

A provision is also there in the Bill to hone up their skill as per their talent to make them economically independent.
The issues relating to their social security, health and rehabilitation and their legal safety have also been taken care in the Bill.

Participating in the discussion, Prof. Saugata Roy (AITC) said that there is no doubt that this Bill has many improved features for which we must commend the Government that for the first time a comprehensive legislation has been brought forward for the aid of those who are disadvantaged–some from birth, some through accidents or diseases acquired later.
Prof. Roy said that this Bill included 21 disabilities as part of disabilities.

For the first time, autism and intellectual problem of learning disorders, acid attack victims have also been included.

Parkinson’s disease, blood disorders like thalassemia and haemophilia have been included.

Prof. Roy supported that reservation should be increased to five percent instead of four percent as promised in the Bill.
The creation of a national fund for persons with disabilities is a welcome step towards upliftment of the disabled persons.

Prof. Roy suggested for strict implementation of disabled friendly environment by introducing ramp in the trains and buses, government buildings, etc.

Prof. Roy also mentions that many people are ignorant about the Central Government scheme for providing free appliances such as, wheelchairs, tricycles, blind sticks and hearing aids to the handicapped.
Participating in the discussion, Shri Tathagata Satpathy (BJD) said that we are still at a very rudimentary level as far as prosthetics and connected development is concerned.

In the developed countries, they Jai Mata Di Sessional Review 41 are developing limbs which can be connected to the nerves which eventually get connected to the brain.
Shri Satpathy said that the most important part of the Bill is that the people who should be benefitted should actually become a part of society and are truly and honestly accepted by their peers as normal human beings.

He suggested that diseases which are not included in this Bill such as, locomotory problems, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis; neurological problems; brain tumour, etc.

need to be addressed.


Replying to the discussion, the Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment, Shri Thaawar Chand Gehlot said that the Bill contains provisions at every level to ensure the all round development of the disabled people.

The provisions of Bill would be implemented in the private institutions which are recognized by the government.
The Minister said that the Bill provides that no disabled person would be deprived of the benefits of the welfare schemes being operated by the Government of India or the State Governments.

Setting up of Commissions at the commissionerate level are meant to play advisory role to the Governments and it is always upto the government to accept or reject the recommendations.

Provisions are made to setup Advisory Boards at the Central and State levels.
On the issue of including the public representatives, the Minister said that three Members of Parliament will be represented out of which two will be from the Lok Sabha and one from the Rajya Sabha.

A universal identity card at the All India level will be provided to the disabled persons.

On the issue of expanding the ambit of disability, the Minister said that it is the medical experts and other experts related to the field of disability who decide the nature and quantum of disability.
The Bill provides that a decision to include particular disabilities could be made without having to fulfill the requirement of getting Parliamentary approval.

The Bill was passed.

The House was prorogued by the President of India on 18 December 2016.

In all, the House sat for 21 days during the session.

A resume of some of the important discussions held and other business transacted during the Session is given below: A. STATEMENTS/DISCUSSIONS Discussion on situation arising out of demonetisation of `500 and 1000 currency notes: A discussion on demonetisation of `500 and 1000 currency notes took place on 16 November, 24 November and 1 December 2016.
Initiating the discussion on the subject, Shri Anand Sharma of the Indian National Congress said that on 8 November, 2016, the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had made an announcement that currency of the denomination of `500 and 1000 which were in circulation in India were being demonetised and their legal tendering would be invalid after midnight.

He further added that the House was not divided on issues of black money, crime money, drug money and counterfeit currency.
While questioning the government about its decision to demonetise, he said whether the government rightly thought that most of the 86 per cent money in Indian market was counterfeit.

In India, cash to GDP ratio is 12 to 14 per cent.

He questioned the government as to whether the government has taken into account the issues concerning farmers, workers, employees and the marginal traders who do not move with the credit card or cheque books.
He alleged that an undeclared emergency had been created in the country and its citizens had been put into jeopardy.

He asked the government whether the cash currency available with the housewives, farmers, labourers and government employees could be categorised as black money.

A message had thus gone to the whole world that 86 percent of the money in Indian economy was black money.

He further added that unemployment and starvation was on increase because of non-availability of new currency notes.
He further * Contributed by the General Research Unit, LARRDIS, Rajya Sabha Secretariat.

Jai Mata Di 46 The Journal of Parliamentary Information added that the government should have made preparation in advance before taking such a decision of demonetisation to avoid hardship to the people.
Participating in the discussion* Shri Piyush Goyal, Minister of State in the Ministry of Power, Minister of State in the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and Minister of State in the Ministry of Mines said that the entire nation was welcoming the decision of the Prime Minister and his government.

He said that this decisive step, had certainly caused pain to some people.
He added that despite the suffering and pains, a majority of the population in India was appreciating the good work of the Prime Minister.

He hoped that entire House and all the political parties could have been happy over this very important measure taken by the government.
He stated that it had been noted that around 86 percent of the currency that was in circulation, was in the denomination of 500 and 1000 rupee notes and around half of 500 and 1000 rupee currency never came back into the currency-chest.

It was thus speculated that huge amount of money that was locked or hidden somewhere was black money.
While replying to the proposal of Shri Anand Sharma that the names of account holders in Swiss Bank be declared, he said that it was the duty of the Government of India to submit the names of those people to the Supreme Court.

He further said that the general public had appreciated the great step taken by the government in the fight against black money, corruption and terrorism which would also help in containing tax evasion by the businessmen in the country.
He further added that despite facing many hardships, the public was ready to cooperate with the Government.

He stressed the need to encourage transactions by credit and debit cards by the people so that transparency was visible in the financial dealings.

Joining the discussion, Prof. Ram Gopal Yadav of the Samajwadi Party said that this step of the government had affected the common people.
While referring to the suffering of the common people who had to stand in long queues to deposit their own money, he said that farmers were unable to buy seeds and fertilizers, pay wages to the labourers and need money every day to meet their daily household requirements.
The disclosure of the two thousand rupees note on social media much before the announcement was made by the government should be * Other Members who participated in the discussion were: Sarvashri Ghulam Nabi Azad, A.

Seeking an assurance from the government, he said that the public, especially the women should not face difficulties.

Regarding currency supply, he said that the government should have ensured sufficient supply of the new currency notes to minimise the suffering of common man.

He urged the government to allow the purchase of seeds and fertilizers by the farmers through old currency notes keeping in view the sowing of Rabi crops.
He also urged the government to make arrangements for Mobile Cash Vans to dispense cash for the convenience of the rural people.

Shri Sitaram Yechury of the CPI(M) in the discussion said that the currency notes which were demonetised, constitute 86 per cent of the cash transactions in the country.

He requested the government to do something for the survival of the farmers as they were forced to sell their produce at lower price to private parties due to closure of grain procurement by the administration.
He stated that only 2.6 crores out of 113 crores of Indians had the facility of plastic money.

Citing the example of country like Sweden, he said that Sweden had moved into a cashless economy because of the availability of 100 per cent internet coverage across the country for all its citizens, but it was not possible in a country like India where 86 per cent of all the economic activities were in cash.
He further asked the government to block the avenues for the black money and asked for effective measures to stop the inflow of counterfeit currency.

He further added that some kind of ceiling should be imposed on the expenditure of political parties also along with candidates, electronic transfer of money should be monitored to check terror funding and corporate funding of all the political parties should be stopped immediately.
Participating in the discussion, the Minister of Urban Development, Minister of Housing and Urban Poverty alleviation and the Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu said that the present government had got the mandate in the 2014 elections on the issues of corruption and scams and this particular step of demonetisation of `500 and 1000 currency notes had enhanced the confidence of the people in the political system itself which was lacking for years.
He added that despite hardships, people were praising the Prime Minister for taking such a bold step.

He assured the entire country that valid money would not become invalid.

He recalled that when the government came to power, it had set an agenda and the government had been continuously working on it and with this step, the Prime Minister was trying to curb black money in the country.
This would give a fillip to the Jai Mata Di 48 The Journal of Parliamentary Information farmers economy, improve the tax collection, open up opportunities for the poor and middle class, it would hit the funding for arms smuggling and terrorism and put an end to the large circulation of counterfeit currency.

He further added that demonetization would enable the government in wiping out the fiscal deficit and in achieving the goals.
He requested all the members in the House for a constructive and meaningful debate to root out the menace of black money from the country.

Dr. Manmohan Singh of the Indian National Congress highlighted some of the problems that arose due to demonetisation.

He agreed with the argument that it had been done to curb black money and also to control terrorist finance activities, but it was important to take note of the grievances of people who had suffered the most.
He said that demonetisation would hurt agricultural growth, informal sectors of the economy and small industry.

The step could erode people’s confidence in the currency and banking system.

The GDP of the country could decline by about two percent, as a result of the decision.

He stressed the need to take practical and pragmatic ways and means to relieve the distress of the people of the country.
Further, Shri Derek O’Brien of the All India Trinamool Congress said that his party was strongly against black money and corruption.

While commenting on Prime Minister, he said that Prime Minister could not get back the promised black money from abroad, that is why this decision had been taken.

He suggested that the government would have printed and circulated more small currency notes before implementing the decision of demonetisation.
Clarifying his party’s stand, he had stated that anyone who opposed this policy was not in favour of black money and was also not anti-national.
