Deft floor management sees Medical Council of India Bill through in Rajya Sabha


The government on Wednesday (9-5-12) managed to push through a Bill in the Rajya Sabha which will provide for a year's extension for the board of governors of the Medical Council of India. The Bill was passed by voice vote and the Opposition decided against pushing for a division.

The passage of the Indian Medical Council (Amendment) Bill in the Rajya Sabha comes as a relief to the government, especially after its allies Trinamool, which had earlier voted against the Bill in the Lok Sabha, and DMK criticised the legislation during the debate on Wednesday.
