The two Bills -- The National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill 2025 and The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025 -- were passed in the Rajya Sabha after the Opposition walked out soon after the minister moved the Bills for consideration and passage. The Lok Sabha passed the two Bills on Monday.

He said it would have been good if the Opposition had participated in the discussion on this Bill, but it is unfortunate that those who talk about women, tribals and youth did not participate or give suggestions on these Bills, which will take care of the talent of rural youth, women and tribals.
