Rajya Sabha passes bill on appointment of CEC, ECs amid opposition walkout
Tuesday, 12 December 2023 Rajya Sabha passed a bill on the appointment of the CEC and election commissioners by a selection committee. Amendments were made to retain their status at par with Supreme Court judges. The bill provides protection to the CEC and ECs from civil or criminal proceedings for acts done in their official duties. The President can now make rules for their service conditions. The amendments also clarify the procedure for removal of the top three EC functionaries. The opposition claims that the bill makes the EC subservient to the executive and circumvents an SC judgment.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah, speaking in the Rajya Sabha on the J&K Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023, and J&K Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2023, highlighted the government's actions against terrorism financing. Notable achievements include 32 cases registered by SIT, 51 cases by SIG, 229...

Top Congress leaders, including the party president Mallikarjun Kharge, former president Sonia Gandhi, held a rally in Jaipur on Saturday, April 6, to publicly launch its election manifesto 'Nyay Patra'. The Jaipur public rally comes a day after the Congress released its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls promising a legal guarantee for MSP, and passing a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 per cent cap on reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs among others. The release of the manifesto 'Nyay Patra' was announced by Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, expressing happiness and pride in her mother Sonia Gandhi's presence in Rajasthan after becoming a member of the Rajya Sabha. Unemployment, claimed to be at its peak, was criticised, with allegations made against the BJP and Modi government for failing to address the issue adequately. The Agniveer scheme, accused of shattering people's hopes, was mentioned, along with concerns raised about leaked papers in various states and the ongoing protests by farmers, suggesting that PM Modi is unwilling to heed their grievances.
