The Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill 2019 and the Aaadhar and other laws (Amendment) Bill 2019 Private Members' business are also scheduled to be tabled in the Rajya Sabha today.

Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on 27 June informed Rajya Sabha that there are no discrepancies regarding the voter turnout and votes counted on Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) in 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

The Law Minister was replying to a specific question from Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut who said there have been complaints about operations of EVMs and differences in counting between EVMs and VVPATs in the just-concluded elections.
