India’s parliamentary democracy.
Congress general secretary (organisation) K C Venugopal on Saturday said the non-inclusion of the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, in the panel and instead, having a former leader of opposition in it, is an insult to Parliament.
“We believe that the High Level Committee on simultaneous elections is nothing but a systematic attempt to sabotage India’s parliamentary democracy,” Venugopal said on X.
“In a shocking insult to Parliament, the BJP has appointed a former LOP to the committee instead of Rajya Sabha LOP Sh. Mallikarjun kharge ji,” he added.
The government notified the eight-member high-level committee on Saturday to examine and make recommendations at the earliest on the issue of holding simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha, state assemblies, municipalities and panchayats.
