  • In the Lok Sabha, Asaduddin Owaisi criticized the proposed One Nation, One Poll (ONOP) bill, describing it as a violation of the right to self-governance and parliamentary democracy.

The article discusses Asaduddin Owaisi's critique of the "One Nation, One Election" concept, which proposes simultaneous elections for both national and state assemblies in India. Owaisi, a prominent Indian politician and leader of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), argues that this idea violates the right to self-governance. He contends that it would undermine the federal structure of India by potentially forcing state assemblies to dissolve prematurely or extend their terms to align with national elections, thus disrupting the democratic process. Owaisi also raises concerns about the potential for national issues to overshadow local and regional issues, thereby diminishing the focus on state-specific governance and voter priorities. He emphasizes that such a system could lead to a centralization of power, which goes against the spirit of India's diverse and pluralistic democracy.
