Congress seeks discussion on new anti-defection law in Lok Sabha

During the twelfth day of Parliament's monsoon session, the Congress party has sought to initiate a discussion on a new anti-defection law in the Lok Sabha. The party's move reflects ongoing concerns within opposition benches regarding defections and party-switching among legislators.

The anti-defection law, also known as the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution, governs the disqualification of legislators on grounds of defection. Congress's push for a discussion suggests the party may be seeking reforms or clarifications to existing provisions that regulate such legislative switches.
