- A Private Member’s Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha in December 2025 to amend the 10th Schedule of the Constitution.
- The Bill seeks to allow Members of Parliament (MPs) to vote independently on Bills and Motions, reducing strict party whip enforcement.
- The 10th Schedule was added by the 52nd Amendment Act, 1985.
- It was designed to prevent unprincipled defections and ensure political stability.
- Whips are the directions issued by the political parties to MPs/MLAs to vote in a particular manner; defying a whip can lead to disqualification under the 10th Schedule.
