New Delhi, March 17 : The Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) on Wednesday protested at Jantar Mantar against the Centre s proposed amendment of the National Capital Territory of Delhi (NCTD) Act, 1991.

Meanwhile, experts have cautioned that it could face constitutional and legal hurdles as it also does away with various powers of the Delhi assembly committee
congress and aam aadmi party.
New Delhi: March 16: The Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party have opposed the proposed amendments to the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill-2021, moved in the Lok Sabha.

Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram said: “The demand is for enlarged legislative powers to Delhi and the will of the people. On the contrary, the proposed amendments will make the Delhi government less than a municipality and rob the people of any kind of representative government.
