Tharoor pushes bill to criminalize marital rape, asserts "no means no" in marriage.

  • Congress MP Shashi Tharoor introduced a private member's bill to criminalize marital rape, advocating "no means no" even after marriage.
  • Tharoor also introduced a bill to fix working hours and address employee burnout, citing the death of an EY employee.
  • A third private member's bill by Tharoor proposes a permanent commission for state and union territory reorganization based on objective criteria.
  • Private member's bills are introduced by ordinary MPs and typically have a low chance of passage, though they generate discussion.
