"It is being presumed that there will be an absolutely new bill, ignoring the earlier bill for which a lot of work was done, and all the work done and time spent will go down," Rijiju said.

The minister made it clear that the apprehensions were ill founded as the new bill to be introduced will incorporate all the changes which have been suggested by the Select Committee and which have been accepted by the government.
Rijiju said it was a normal parliamentary procedure when the amendments to a bill already introduced in the Lok Sabha are too many.

The Select Committee of the Lok Sabha, chaired by BJP member Baijayant Panda, made 285 suggestions to the
Income Tax Bill
, which were accepted by the government.
Rijiju said the need for a new bill arose as it would have been a tedious process to introduce each of the amendments and seek approval of the House separately.
"It is a normal convention that when a Select Committee submits a report and there are a number of amendments which are suggested and accepted by the government, the earlier bill is withdrawn and a new bill with all the amendments as accepted is introduced, so that it becomes easier for the Parliament to consider and pass the bill," Rijiju said.
The minister said there should be no apprehension that the new Income Tax Bill, which is going to be introduced on Monday, will be different.
"It will be the same bill incorporating all the amendments accepted by the government," Rijiju said.
Stating that all the hard work done in the last six months will not go waste, the minister said, "On the contrary, the hard work done by each one and the suggestions will get reflected in the new Income Tax Bill, which the finance minister will introduce in the Lok Sabha on Monday.

Mahesh Goud calls for a BC CM in Telugu states
Hyderabad: PCC president B Mahesh Kumar Goud lamented that while other southern states have had BC leaders as Chief Ministers, the Telugu states have not. Speaking at Sardar Sarvai Papanna Goud Maharaj's 375th birth anniversary as the Chief Guest at an event held at Ravindra Bharati, Mahesh Goud said that the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, was waging an unparalleled fight for social justice. In line with Rahul Gandhi's vision, and given the significant proportion of the BC population, a BC leader will become CM from the Congress party in the future. 'In all southern states, BC leaders have become Chief Ministers, but both Telugu states are yet to have a BC as CM,' he exclaimed. The PCC president said that at the recent 'Maha Dharna' held at Jantar Mantar, there was massive support from leaders and people of all communities. He claimed that BJP leaders who supported the 42 per cent BC reservation in the Assembly turned their backs once they went to Delhi. Union Minister Kishan Reddy, he added, is making confusing statements on BC reservations. 'We will ensure 42 per cent reservations for BCs in local body elections,' he affirmed. Ministers Ponnam Prabhakar, Corporation Chairman Nuthi Srikanth Goud, PCC General Secretaries Vattikooti Rama Rao Goud and Madhu Satyam Goud, along with Goud community leaders from various parties, also participated in the event.

'If these words reach you ...': Final message of Al Jazeera reporter killed in Israeli strike; his ‘do not forget Gaza' call
Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al-Sharif was killed along with four of his Al Jazeera colleagues in an airstrike on Gaza City on Sunday. Anas al-Sharif, one of Al Jazeera's correspondents in Gaza, was killed alongside four colleagues in an Israeli airstrike on Sunday. Hours before his death, the 28-year-old posted a video on X showing nearby Israeli strikes and describing 'intense, concentrated Israeli bombardment' of Gaza City. In what he called his 'will and final message,' al-Sharif left a deeply personal statement to be published if he was killed, beginning: 'This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice.' In his post, he reflected on a lifetime in Jabalia refugee camp, saying he had 'never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is' despite living through 'pain in all its details' and witnessing repeated loss. He entrusted readers with 'Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world' and urged them not to let 'chains silence you, nor borders restrain you.' He spoke of his longing to return to his family's original town of occupied Asqalan, and left heartfelt words for his mother, wife Bayan, and his young children Sham and Salah, whom he would never see grow up. 'If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles,' he wrote. 'Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo According to Al Jazeera, the strike hit a tent housing journalists outside a hospital gate in Gaza City, killing al-Sharif along with Mohammed Qreiqeh and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and Moamen Aliwa. The Israeli military admitted targeting him, calling him a 'terrorist' and accusing him of leading a Hamas cell responsible for rocket attacks—claims his colleagues and press freedom groups reject. The Committee to Protect Journalists said it was 'appalled' by the deaths, accusing Israel of a 'pattern of labelling journalists as militants without providing credible evidence.' Al-Sharif had been repeatedly targeted online by Israeli military spokespeople in recent months, with the CPJ previously urging protection for him. His killing comes amid what media watchdogs describe as unprecedented losses for the press in Gaza, with more than 200 journalists reported killed since the war began 22 months ago. As Israel signals an expansion of military operations in the territory, UN officials have warned the Security Council of 'another calamity' that could bring further death, destruction, and displacement for Gaza's two million residents.
