Simultaneous polls: Bills to be sent to JPC

Mid an Opposition uproar, the Union government on Tuesday introduced two Bills related to "One Nation, One Election" in the Lok Sabha after a division of votes and they were sent to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) for detailed discussions.

The Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024 and The Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024 were introduced by Union Law and Justice Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal in the Lok Sabha after members voted on it.
