Challenging rule 3, part ii, rp act

11.7.16

Rule 3, Part II, RP Act: Qualification for membership of the Council of States.
—A person shall not be qualified to be chosen as a representative of any State or Union territory in the Council of States unless he is an elector for a Parliamentary constituency [in India].]

-----------XXXXXXXXXX-------

The Rule in sum & substance provides for selection to Rajya Sabha from any state & has led to all sorts of undesirables. Citizens are not allowed this sort of registrations. IS IT NOT DISCRIMINATION IN THE NAME OF NON-DISCRIMINATION? The Rule be challenged.

Am not convinced.

Well, it has led to undesirables & so need be addressed.

More inductions have happened yesterday. Some amongst this lot also fall under the complaint's ambit: "Belong to one State. But, the big parties have got them elected from a different State". The Ayeees & Noos that pass more BIIIILLs.
