One Nation, One Election panel shelves visit to Supreme Court for ‘informal discussion’

One Nation, One Election panel shelves visit to Supreme Court for ‘informal discussion’

The Joint Parliamentary Committee looking into the One Nation, One Election Bills recently canceled a planned visit to the Supreme Court for October 6, replacing it with an "informal discussion" with the Chief Justice of India and other judges. The decision was announced by the committee's chairman, BJP MP P P Chaudhary, stating that the visit was to familiarize members with the Supreme Court and its library, as some members had never visited the institution.

This change in plans came after Opposition MPs expressed concerns about conflicting schedules, as INDIA bloc MPs had scheduled a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on the same day.
