During the upcoming session of the parliament, the government will introduce the contentious One Nation One Election and Waqf bills. The Joint Committee on Waqf Amendment Bill is expected to submit its report on November 29 in Parliament, if it sticks to the deadline given to it in the previous session. 

 

The results of the Jharkhand and Maharashtra assembly elections, which will be counted on November 23, is likely to have a significant bearing on the session.

Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that his government was working towards achieving One Nation One Poll which will ensure simultaneous polls for Lok Sabha and state assemblies.

“We are now working towards ‘One Nation One Election’, which will strengthen India’s democracy, give optimum outcome of India’s resources and the country will gain new momentum in achieving the dream of a developed India. Today, India is moving towards One Nation One Civil Code that is a Secular Civil Code,” PM Modi said.

However, the opposition parties, including the Congress have rejected the idea of implementing ‘One Nation One Election’, saying that the Prime Minister has to take everyone in Parliament into confidence for this issue.
