Immigration Bill 2025 and Parliamentary Tensions Shape India's Legislative Landscape

The Immigration and Foreigners Bill 2025 aims to modernize India's immigration laws. Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to introduce the bill while BJP MPs table significant reports on cable TV and digital payment security. Parliamentary sessions remain tense with opposition protests over key issues.

The Lok Sabha is poised to witness the introduction of the Immigration and Foreigners Bill 2025 today. Spearheaded by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the bill seeks to update and consolidate India's immigration framework by granting the central government powers over passport regulations and foreigner management, encompassing visa requirements and registration protocols.

Further adding to the parliamentary agenda, BJP MPs Nishikant Dubey and Anil Baluni will present vital reports on government action regarding Digital Payment Security and Cable Television regulation. They plan to display the government's ongoing developments in matters related to data protection and the Central Board of Film Certification. These reports, resultant of the Standing Committee's observations, continue to shape India's legislative reform.

Meanwhile, the passage of the Railways (Amendment) Bill and the Bills of Lading Bill points to efforts of modernization across sectors, yet legislative sessions are underscored by discord. Opposition MPs staged walkouts, and Lok Sabha saw vociferous protests, particularly aimed at the Union Education Minister's remarks, as the budget session unfolds amidst a politically charged atmosphere.
