NEW DELHI: In a big push for India’s national security, the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday unanimously passed the National Investigation Agency (Amendment) Bill, 2019. Eventually, there were six voices of dissent in the Lok Sabha, and none in the Rajya Sabha. While Opposition parties raised doubts over the possible misuse of the bill, Union home minister Amit Shah told the Rajya Sabha: “I assure the House that the bill will not be misused under any circumstances. On Monday, the Lok Sabha passed the bill with the Opposition red flagging concerns over the potential misuse of the proposed law against certain communities. The bill proposes three major amendments to the NIA Bill of 2008.
