India debates bill for unified national elections, facing opposition from key political parties.

The Indian Parliament is set to debate a bill proposing simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, known as the "One Nation, One Election" bill. The Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal will introduce the bill, which aims to synchronize elections for Jammu and Kashmir, Puducherry, and Delhi, but faces opposition from parties like Congress, Trinamool Congress, and DMK. Both BJP and Shiv Sena have issued whips for their MPs to attend the session.
