The Election Laws Amendment Bill, 2021 that aims to give effect to the long-pending electoral reforms including linking Aadhaar with the voter ID card was passed in the Lok Sabha amid din on Monday. The Bill was passed through a voice vote while several Opposition members, standing in the well of the House, were sloganeering. The Bill was introduced in Lok Sabha in the morning. At the time of the introduction of the Bill, the opposition members spoke against Bill. TMC member Sougata Roy opposed the introduction of the Bill and said it is against the Supreme Court judgment in the Puttaswamy case. BSP member Ritesh Pandey also opposed the introduction of the Bill. This bill violates the rights of people to vote, Pandey said. Law Minister Kiren Rijiju, who piloted the Bill, said that the opposition members’ arguments against the introduction of the Bill are unfounded and they have misinterpreted the Supreme Court’s judgment.
