This is a private bill introduced by the Aam Aadmi Party. Let's see what happens to it, but kudos for the attempt!

Just to note that the MP who has introduced this is suspended by that party.

What is the difference between a private and non-private bill?

A private bill does not have the support of the ruling party behind it (That does not mean that the ruling party will vote it down, though.) Any member of parliament can propose a private bill - the odds of it becoming law, though, are not great.
