Overview
- Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta endorsed creating a Uniform Model of Rules at a preliminary committee meeting in Mysuru on Tuesday.
- The session, chaired by Uttar Pradesh Speaker Satish Mahana, drew presiding officers from Maharashtra, Nagaland, Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka.
- Gupta cited Articles 118 and 208 of the Constitution and Section 33 of Delhi’s GNCTD Act as the authority for legislatures to set and align their own procedures.
- He linked the push to the National e‑Vidhan Application, a platform to digitise lawmaking, saying shared rules would help e‑committees and online records run the same way in every state.
- The Delhi Legislative Assembly Secretariat has begun updating its rules to match Lok Sabha practice and use gender‑neutral language, a move supporters say will boost clarity and cut procedural disputes.
