NIA Bill passes in Lok Sabha, Amit Shah says Modi govt will never misuse law

The NIA (Amendment) Bill, 2019, was passed in Lok Sabha on Monday.

Congress opposed to the Bill saying it may be misused by the govt for political vendetta
Amit Shah said Modi govt will never misuse the NIA law.

Lok Sabha passed the National Investigation Agency (Amendment) Bill, 2019 on Monday after a heated debate between Home Minister Amit Shah and the Opposition.

The NIA (Amendment) Bill, 2019


The Bill amends the National Investigation Agency (NIA) Act, 2008 that provides for a national-level agency to investigate and prosecute offences listed in the scheduled offences. Further, the Act allows for creation of Special Courts for the trial of scheduled offences.

The Bill seeks to allow the NIA to investigate the following offences in addition to human trafficking, offences related to counterfeit currency or bank notes, manufacture or sale of prohibited arms, cyber-terrorism and offences under the Explosive Substances Act, 1908.

Refuting Opposition claims over "misuse" of the NIA law, Amit Shah on Monday asserted that the Modi government will never misuse it on the basis of religion but ensure that terrorism is finished off irrespective of the religion of the accused.

In an intervention during a discussion in Lok Sabha on the National Investigation Agency (Amendment) Bill, 2019, Shah also targeted the Congress-led UPA government for repealing the anti-terror act POTA, saying it was not done because of its alleged misuse but to "save its vote bank".

 In the end, the fight was a dud that ended with a big upset, as Lobov beat Malignaggi via unanimous decision.

Even more incredibly, there was no post-fight brawl between the two camps, which became heated rivals thanks to Conor McGregor, who famously trashed Malignaggi after sparring with him while training for his fight with Floyd Mayweather.

Saturday night’s event in Florida might not have ended the way many tuning in would have hoped, but fans, media and other fighters were still in impressed with what Lobov pulled off:

India vs Pakistan Highlights, World Cup 2019: India Crush Pakistan To Make It 7 In A Row

Rohit Sharma's century and fifties from KL Rahul and Virat Kohli helped India beat Pakistan by 89 runs (DLS method) in Manchester on Sunday. Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav and Vijay Shankar picked up two wickets apiece to ensure India finish on the right side of the results. 

With this, India add one more win to their unbeaten track record against their arch-rivals in World Cup. Pakistan's chase got off to a sluggish start as they were reduced to 38 for one in 10 overs in reply to India's 336 for five -- a total that featured Rohit Sharma's 140 and captain Virat Kohli's 77.

Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman added over 100 runs for the second wicket and kept Pakistan in the hunt. But they fell in quick succession and after that no Pakistani batsmen create impact in the game which resulted in their side losing the match by huge margin.




 Earlier, India paceman Bhuvneshwar Kumar limped off four balls into the fifth over with a hamstring injury that a team spokesman said had ruled him out of the rest of the match. But World Cup debutant Vijay Shankar, brought on to complete the over, struck first ball when he had Imam-ul-Haq lbw for seven to leave Pakistan 13 for one. In the first innings, Kohli became the quickest player to 11,000 one-day international runs, getting there in 222nd innings as compared to compatriot Sachin Tendulkar's previous record of 276 innings. Pakistan left-arm quick Mohammad Amir was his side's only threat with three for 47 despite two early warnings for running on the pitch.
