Ref No.MP0/72/09/023 Dated 02nd Sept. 2023

Dear Shri Amit Shah ji,

I have just got to know through the media and a Gazette notification is appeared that I
have been appointed as a Member of the High-Level Committee on simultaneous polls to the
Lok Sabha and the Vidhan Sabhas.
I have no hesitation whatsoever in declining to serve on the Committee whose terms of
reference have been prepared in a manner to guarantee its conclusions. It is, I am afraid, a
total eyewash.
Moreover, the sudden attempt to thrust a constitutionally suspect, pragmatically non feasible
and logistically unimplementable idea on the nation, months before the general elections,
raises serious concerns about ulterior motives of the government.
Furthermore, I find that the current LOP in the Rajya Sabha has been excluded. This is a
deliberate insult to the system of Parliamentary democracy.
In these circumstances, I have no option but to decline your invitation.

With Regards,

Shri Amit Shah
