The committee will be tasked to submit the report to Lok Sabha on the first day of the last week of the next session of Parliament.

The Constitution Amendment Bill on 'One Nation, One Election' and the Bill further to amend the Government of Union Territories Act, 1963, the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991 and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 were introduced in Lok Sabha on Tuesday.

The bill, introduced in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, proposes simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies across India.

Opposition members argue that the proposed change could disproportionately benefit the ruling party, giving it undue influence over the electoral process in states, and undermine the autonomy of regional parties.

These bills, approved by the Cabinet last week, aim to facilitate the holding of simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies across the country.

During the introduction of the bill, 269 members voted in favour, while 196 voted against it.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated that when the 'One Nation, One Election' Bill was taken up in the Cabinet for approval, Prime Minister Narendra Modi insisted that it be sent to the JPC for detailed discussion. (ANI)
