As expected, the #Transgender Bill is listed for passing in #RajyaSabha today. Please note: 1. The Bill was passed in #LokSabha just y'day despite many MPs opposing & asking for it to be sent to a Committee for stakeholder consultations. 2. Y'day, #RajyaSabha was debating the Appropriation Bill and debate on that has been put on hold to take up Transgender Bill today. Y'day the debate on Finance Bill in Lok Sabha was also similarly put on hold to suddenly take up the Transgender Bill. This is extraordinary. This is done very very rarely & in fact, Govt always prioritises passing of financial bills over other business since these are time bound. 3. Govt has still not offered any explanation on what is the rush to pass this Bill. It brought the Bill suddenly without doing any prior consultations and has actively avoided sending it to #Parliament Committee also. It claims that the Bill is for the welfare of the Transgender community but refuses to engage with the same community on the Bill! Now MPs in #RajyaSabha have the option to move motions to send Bill to Select Committee. Hope MPs are preparing for that. Further hope that Opposition MPs will participate in vote on the Bill, and ask for division, instead of walking out! But Govt has the numbers, it will most likely be able to push the Bill through. And if so, it will add to a long list of instances where #Parliament will be reduced to a mere rubber stamp instead of a democratic platform for inclusive deliberations!

Govt has lost no time in transmitting the #Transgender Bill to #RajyaSabha, minutes after it was passed by #LokSabha. Govt will likely list it for discussion in RS tomorrow & push for it to be passed tomorrow itself. Amazing speed of passing Bills🫡

“But a growing number of large solar power and mining projects in the region are now taking over these traditional community lands, threatening the traditional way of life and sparking conflicts that have grown into a broader movement in the last five years.” @ManuMoudgil

Just because it's renewable, doesn't mean it's all good. Large scale solar projects have sparked land conflicts, impacting herders in west Rajasthan. A story from Jaisalmer for @MongabayIndia india.mongabay.com/2026/03/villag…

There is no evidence at all to make the distinction between different groups under the definition of a transgender person! This is a suffocating legislation. You don’t have the right to take away my rights. #rejecttransbill2026 #nogoingback
