The committee will look into the 10th Schedule of the Constitution and recommend changes.
The anti-defection law contains provisions to disqualify MPs or MLAs if they switch their political allegiances, unless the defection involves at least two-thirds of the elected members of a party.
"The conference discussed various issues related to the working of Parliament and Legislatures. The 10th Schedule was one such issue. There was a committee under CP Joshi which gave its report on the issue.
There was a detailed discussion on the 10th Schedule in the Uttarakhand matter and to take the debate forward now we have decided to form a committee under Rahul Narwekar, speaker of Maharashtra assembly," said Birla at a press conference after the two-day meeting of the 84th All India Presiding Officers' Conference (AIPOC) concluded in Mumbai.
The committee has not yet been formally announced. The details of its members and timelines will be declared later.
