The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) constituted to examine three key bills, including the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025, has invited memoranda from the public and stakeholders seeking their views and suggestions.
The Committee has also called for inputs on the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2025, and the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2025. The JPC is chaired by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Aparajita Sarangi.
According to a statement issued by the Lok Sabha Secretariat, written submissions have been invited from the general public as well as NGOs, experts, stakeholders and institutions. Interested individuals or organisations may send two copies of their memoranda, in English or Hindi, to the Additional Secretary (DR), Lok Sabha Secretariat, Room No. 018, Parliament House Annexe, New Delhi–110001, within 15 days of the publication of the advertisement. Submissions may also be sent via email at [email protected]. Contact numbers provided are 23035743 and 23034335.
The Committee said that all memoranda and suggestions received would form part of its official records and would be treated as confidential, enjoying the same privileges as the Committee’s proceedings. Those wishing to appear before the Committee in addition to submitting written memoranda have been asked to indicate their willingness, though the final decision on appearances will rest with the Committee.
The Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025, seeks to disqualify Ministers, including the Prime Minister and Chief Ministers, who face serious criminal charges carrying imprisonment of five years or more and detention for over 30 days.
