A Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) has been constituted to review the proposed ‘One Nation, One Election' Bills.

According to a Lok Sabha bulletin, BJP MP from Pali (Rajasthan) PP Chaudhary is likely to head the 31-member panel, which includes Congress MPs Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Manish Tewari.

The panel is likely to be officially notified by Speaker Om Birla on December 19.

Other prominent members of the panel from the Lok Sabha are NCP (SP) MP Supriya Sule, BJP MPs Bhartruhari Mahtab, Anurag Thakur, Bansuri Swaraj and Sambit Patra.

Ten members will be from the Rajya Sabha and they will be named later.

The panel will submit its report to the Speaker on the first day of the last week of the next Budget session.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
