NEW DELHI, Apr 4:
In a lighter vein, Union Home Minister Amit Shah today said in Lok Sabha that he has a “manufacturing defect” of a high-pitched voice and does not get angry except for on issues related to Kashmir.
In a friendly exchange with Opposition benches, Shah said he does not scold anyone or get angry.
“I do not scold anyone. I have a high-pitched voice. It is a manufacturing defect. I do not get angry, except for when it comes to the issue of Kashmir,” Shah said moving the Criminal Procedure (Identification) Bill for consideration and passage in Lok Sabha.
“I request both members of the ruling side and Opposition to look at it from a different point of view. The government does not have any other intention than strengthening the law (by bringing in the bill),” he said.
His remarks came after an Opposition member quipped that he responds sometimes in an angry manner.
Later, the Lok Sabha passed the Criminal Procedure (Identification) Bill that seeks to take measurements of convicts and other persons for purposes of identification and investigation in criminal matters.
The bill was passed by a voice vote after Home Minister Amit Shah allayed concerns raised by the opposition which claimed that the draft law was draconian.
The bill replaces the Identification of Prisoners Act, 1920.(PTI)
