Congress MP Harish Chandra Meena, who began the debate on behalf of the Opposition, said the Bill was brought because of the Supreme Court order, which directed the Central government to ensure justice for retired officers. “The issue went to court when the retired officers didn’t get justice … This was the first failure,” said Meena. He alleged that consultations with stakeholders were not held before the Bill was brought.”
