A bill that will put an end to the need for getting permission to
transport bamboo was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Monday amid protests
from Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MP Bhartruhari Mahtab.
As Environment
and Forest Minister Harsh Vardhan stood up to introduce The Indian
Forest (Amendment) Bill, 2017, Mahtab raised objections.
The bill
would do away with the inter-state permit for transportation of bamboo.
"Very innocuously it is being mentioned that farmers are being
affected," he said.
"How can you take away power from states...
Whose interest are you protecting? You are protecting interest of the
trader," he said.
Vardhan, however, denied it. "I think the
member has not understood the bill. His apprehensions are grossly
misplaced. This is one of the major reforms and it is going to help
farmers and everyone in a big way," he said.
The bill was then introduced in the Lok Sabha.
Other
bills introduced by the government amid the uproar included The
National Council for Teacher Education (Amendment) Bill, 2017, The
Payment of Gratuity (Amendment) Bill, 2017, The Dentists (Amendment)
Bill, 2017 and The Representation of the People (Amendment) Bill, 2017.
