New Delhi: Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal introduced the ‘One Nation, One Election’ bill in the Lok Sabha after opposition protests. Congress MP Manish Tewari pointed out that the bill is an attack on the basic structural principles of the Constitution.
Tiwari said the bill is beyond the legislative powers of the House and the government should withdraw it. Samajwadi Party MP Dhardamendra Yadav alleged that the bill is a move by the BJP to bring dictatorship in the country.
The winter session of Parliament is entering its final week. The session, which began on November 25, will end on the 20th of this month. After the bill is introduced, it will be sent to the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) for consideration.
