Opposition’s Push for Debate on Electoral Issues
New Delhi – The Indian parliament is facing a potential logjam as the Opposition intensifies its demand for a comprehensive debate on the alleged duplication of Electoral Photo Identity card (EPIC) numbers and the contentious issue of delimitation. While the government remains silent on scheduling these discussions, upcoming parliamentary sessions are slated to address the functioning of the Home Ministry in the Rajya Sabha and the Agriculture Ministry in the Lok Sabha.
The core of the opposition’s concern revolves around what thay describe as “pertinent” issues related to the integrity of the electoral process. Delimitation, the process of redrawing electoral district boundaries, is particularly sensitive, especially after previous exercises led to significant changes in the composition of the Lok Sabha [[1]][[2]].
