Amar Singh raises starred question on legalising betting and gambling in Rajya Sabha

Exclusive Independent Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament (MP) and former Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh has raised a starred question on legalisation of ga✱mbling and betting in the Rajya Sabha.

Singh in his question has asked Union Minister for Law and Justice, Ravi Shankar Prasad to state whether the La🀅w Commission of India has sent a pr🐻oposal to legalise gambling and betting in the country.

He has further asked for the details of the Law Commission’s prop🐼osal and action proposed to be taken by the 💯government on the Law Commission’s suggestions.

The starred question raised by Singh is scheduled to be answered by the Law Minister on 14th December. Members can also ask follow-up questions to the oral response that is required to be given by the government to starred quest♈ions.

In the monsoon session of Parliament held in July this year, two Rajya Sabha MPs, AIADMඣK’s Vijila Sathyananth and Kerala Congress꧙ (Mani’s) Jose K. Mani had also raised similar starred questions.

Since the house did not function properly, a written response tabled by Prasad at the time stated that the Law Commission of India’s 276th report on gambling and betting and 𓂃its recommendations are under c🗹onsideration of the government.

In the same session of parliament, Union Minister of State for Law and Justice PP Chaudhary had given a similar response to the queries of six Lok Sabha MPs on the Law Commission’s recommenda☂tions anꦉd proposed steps to be taken by the government.
