    "content": "THAT, the Second Schedule be amended- (a) by deleting paragraph 6; (b) in sub-paragraph (b) of paragraph 11 by deleting the words “the periodic audit” appearing at the start of the paragraph and substituting therefor the words “the annual statutory and other audits” (c) by deleting paragraph 16 and substituting therefor the following new paragraph- “16. The officials of a party shall be authorized to sign on behalf of the party- (a) documents presented to the Registrar including membership register, mergers and other reports to the Registrar; (b) the accounts of the party and bank accounts; (c) audited annual accounts and financial statements; (d) any report or document of the party required under this Act or any other written law; (e) the nomination certificates for any nomination or election of a member of the political party”; and (d) by deleting paragraph 22 and substituting therefor the following new clause- “22. Rules for mergers including- (a) the circumstances and criteria for mergers; (b) the procedure and guidelines for such mergers as approved by an annual general meeting of the political party”. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you look at what we are proposing, the deletion of Paragraph 6, in particular, the Committee was of the view that it would be too onerous to demand political parties to have offices established in every county throughout the country. Let it really be the strength of the party. If they cannot do it, they know the consequences; they may not get representation from those particular areas, rather than making it a legal requirement."
