    "content": "breaches that were observed are rectified, any election that is going to be conducted under similar circumstances would be nullified. There is a burden on this august House to streamline our election laws so that once we have an election, it is conducted in accordance with the law, and that it passes the test given by the Supreme Court. Let me also thank the Members of the Committee. We had to endure long working hours. It was tiring, but I hope this House will find the Report and the proposed amendments to be in consonance with the spirit that made the House establish the Committee for the related purposes. I wish to point out just a few of the proposed amendments because the Chairperson has ably gone over the same. He elucidated what the amendments encompass. I believe it is quite clear to all of us, that what has been produced is in accordance with the mandate given to this House. Clause 2 is for purposes of continuity. It is to ensure that there is no vacuum at any one given time. So, in case anything happens to the Chairperson of the Commission, then the Vice- Chairman will ably step in. In the absence of the Vice-Chairman and the Chairman, the Committee will be at liberty to choose one of its own members to sit in as Chair and discharge all the duties that are to be discharged. That way, the Commission will not be in limbo to discharge its duties in the absence of the Chairman."
