Andhra CM seeks Smriti Irani’s support for Disha bills

With two ‘Disha’ women protection bills waiting Presidential assent, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday requested Union Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani to expedite her ministry’s response to the legislation.

In a letter to Irani, Reddy said the Union Ministry of Home Affairs has called for comments and observations on the Andhra Pradesh Disha (Special Courts for Specified Offences against Women and Children) Bill, and the Andhra Pradesh Disha Criminal Law (AP Amendment Bill), 2019 as they are currently under Presidential consideration for assent.

“I shall, there, be grateful, if you could kindly look into the matter and expedite comments of the Ministry of Women and Child Development to the Ministry of Home Affairs on the aforesaid bills,” he wrote.

He also offered to depute a state officer to brief the ministry regarding the provisions of the bills.

The Chief Minister solicited her support for bills aimed to create a robust and conducive ecosystem for speedy justice and to usher in safety, dignity and happiness for the women and children of AP.

YCP Govt withdrawing historic Disha Bill in AP Assembly

Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s most prestigious Disha Bill was being withdrawn from the AP Assembly. The ruling party was saying that this was being done following some amendments suggested by the Central Government. It may be recalled that the Disha Bill was passed in the AP Assembly but it could not be brought into effect because of the pending approval from the Central Government.

What amendments were suggested by the Centre were not immediately known. But, the Jagan regime was silently working on the changes to be made to the historic bill.

Once the new Disha Bill was framed, it would have to be reintroduced once again for passing the same in the AP Assembly. It is not likely that the new bill will be tabled in the present session. At a later time, the new Disha Bill will be passed in the Assembly and again it will be sent for approval to the Central Government.

It may be recalled that CM Jagan has taken the Disha Bill as a prestigious issue. The Disha Bill got nationwide popularity but it could not be implemented because of obvious technical reasons.
