The constitution amendment bill to operationalise the Land Boundary Agreement (LBA) with Bangladesh appears unlikely to be passed in the current winter session of Indian parliament, indications show.
The fourth and final week of the session begins today but the bill to implement LBA does not figure among the series of legislations mentioned by an Indian official statement to be considered and passed by parliament.
The winter session is scheduled to end on December 23.
If the bill to operationalise the agreement is not considered and passed in the ongoing session, then it has to wait till the long budget session expected to begin sometime late February next year.
The bill needs to be passed by two-thirds majority of the members in both Houses of Indian parliament — Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha.
