Discussing State matters is generally not a correct procedure and conduct of business in the Parliament.
Parliament primarily legislates and discusses matters related to the Union List and Concurrent List. Matters falling exclusively under the State List are ordinarily within the jurisdiction of State Legislatures.
While issues concerning state subjects can be discussed in Parliament if they have national importance or pertain to the implementation of Union laws on the Concurrent List, a general discussion on routine ‘State matters’ is restricted by the rules of procedure to avoid encroaching upon the autonomy of state legislatures. Issues like the use of police force concerning vulnerable groups (if it has national implications), violent disturbances in central undertakings, or national-level industrial labour issues can potentially be raised in Parliament through specific mechanisms like questions, motions, or debates, as they touch upon areas of national concern or the Union’s responsibilities.
