The House must deliberate on the steps necessary to uphold universal adult suffrage and protect the democratic rights of all, particularly in view of concerns that had emerged in Maharashtra during the 2024 Legislative Assembly Elections,” the notice read.
Moreover, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh also moved a Suspension of Business Notice in the Rajya Sabha under Rule 267 to discuss alleged irregularities in the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Phase-13 examination held between July 24 and August 1.
In a formal notice, Singh highlighted multiple problems, including technical failures, errors in biometric verification and cancellation of scheduled exams. These issues have caused widespread confusion and distress among candidates.
