TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The Narendra Modi government has justified promulgation of ordinances, saying it was as per the Constitution written by founding fathers of Indian democracy.
Asked if the government felt promulgating ordinances was right, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs S.S. Ahluwalia said it was being done as and when government felt a law was required in the inter-session period.
“We are not taking any wrong route. Our founding fathers have given a provision in the constitution that if there is an urgent requirement for a law, government can promulgate an ordinance,” he said at a press conference at the end of the Monsoon Session of Parliament.
“You have to get it cleared by Parliament in the next session… When we feel we need to bring a law in the inter-session period we bring an ordinance,” he said. Since it came to power in 2014, the NDA government has brought 28 ordinances. During the 15th Lok Sabha, the then government had promulgated 25 ordinances in its five-year tenure, while in the 14th Lok Sabha, 36 ordinances were passed.
