Lok Sabha on Friday passed a bill which seeks to remove the Congress president as a permanent member of a trust that runs the Jallianwala Bagh National Memorial amid a walkout by the Congress.
The Jallianwala Bagh National Memorial (Amendment) Bill states that it seeks to "delete" the mention of 'President of the Indian National Congress' as a trustee.
The bill was passed by a voice vote amid Congress walkout. Earlier, amendments moved by opposition parties were defeated by a division of votes.
A division sought by opposition members at the time of consideration of the bill was also defeated 214 in favour of the consideration and 30 against it.ALSO READ: Bill for timely insolvency resolution passed in Lok Sabha
