Agenda:
Reviewing the working of Central Investigative agencies by reforming the framework of corruption laws in India.
This year’s agenda is crucial to India’s security and politics. We will focus on the workings of Central Investigative Agencies and deliberate upon reforming India’s corruption laws. The Prevention of Corruption Act, the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, and the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act are essential instruments in India's fight against corruption, addressing issues ranging from money laundering, to the bribery of public officials, to the persecution of economic offenders who have fled the country. These laws hold immense power, and India’s politicians and parties have always tried to take advantage of them. The politicization of agencies who enforce this law has been a problem for far too long and we must take action now. So, with the intent of challenging the alleged undemocratic practices of these agencies.
Parth Dhoot
Speaker, Lok Sabha
My name is Parth Dhoot and it is an immense honour to serve as the Speaker of Lok Sabha this year. I usually spend my day understanding the intricacies of law or engaging in parliamentary debates that hold the power to change India's future. In my free time, I binge-watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S., my go-to show, and savour delicious Indori food.
This year, Lok Sabha will be discussing the workings of India's Investigative agencies and the cryptic laws surrounding them. The Indian parliament, being the highest forum of debates, we expect you parliamentarians to engage in meaningful discussions that will provide solutions to the rampant corruption in India.
