ABOUT MOCK INDIAN PARLIAMENT
We, the people of India, are standing on the threshold of a new tomorrow, a time when even the most hen-pecks
of the dictatorships are giving way to the triumphant democracy. Standing on such a crucial juncture, if
parliamentary debates and discussions are considered an end in itself then it’s just the beginning of a new end.
The parliamentary procedures, the long hours of debates the tediousness of the discussions are just the means to
an end. If now the question is what are these ends then the answer must be that it envisages that the principle of
democracy remains in its pristine form a form in which decision is reached through consensus , the leaders of
the people are accountable to them; that they develop a sense of sensitivity towards the masses . It also gives
immense scope to the masses to make sure that decisions of their future are in accordance to their dream, that
the discussions in the Parliament should circumscribe their needs and most importantly the outcome of the
entire procedure resonates with the ambitions of the masses and gives them immense strength, indomitable will
and courage to believe in parliamentary democracy where an individual happily entrusts his leader the
responsibility of realizing his dreams his ambitions and even his potentials.

LOK SABHA
Rajneeti bayanbajiyon se nahi, zameeni muddo se hoti hai..
Namaskar Hon’ble Members of Parliament! I am delighted to put forth the agenda for Lok Sabha.
Dictionary defines reservation as ‘A district that is reserved for particular purpose’. Reservation policy in India
is a procedure of setting aside a certain number or percentage of seats in government institutions for the
unprivileged, minority or backward class. The Constitution of India believes in treating the equals equally and
the unequal’s unequally, i.e. positive discrimination in order to bring equality of opportunity and status in the
society. Reservations are generally based on caste, religion, gender, status as a domicile, migrants, differently
able and the like. The conception of reservation was enshrined in the Constitution of India to uplift the
downtrodden sections of the society so that they can stand at an equal footing with the privileged class.
The debate over the pros and cons of reservation policy is endless. Some argue that reservation policy seeks to
avenge the unjust done to the under privileged for all these year and it’s a maneuver for vote bank politics while
some argue that reservation system provides an opportunity to the concerned classes to improve their lives and
stand in par with the privileged sections of the society.
It has been 67 years since we are independent. The time has come to analyze the policies of Compensatory
discrimination. Are we on the right path? Have the concerned communities uplifted? Do we need to change
our Neeti? Let’s discuss. Looking forward for your views.
Suyash Pande
Speaker, Lok Sabha

ALL INDIA PARTY MEET
31st Oct-1 Nov
The first day of the session started off with a lot of enthusiasm and zest in the delegates of the All India Party
Meet. The session started off with the discussion on the sub topic “Whether the problem of Naxalism is a law
and order problem or an ideological one?”
Most of speeches made on this sub agenda agreed that the problem of Naxalism initially started off as a law and
order problem but in the contemporary sense it has moved on to an ideological one.
To support this fact a delegate pointed out that economic disparity played a huge role in the rampant increase in
the of Naxalism, as it is an established fact that only poor take up arms to join the naxal movement.
Also the ideology behind Naxalism is supported not only by the literate tribals but also by highly educated
people from all around the world, such as Professors from Jadhavpur University, West Bengal and Jawaharlal
University, Delhi.
On the second day, the next issue up for the debate was on how to overcome the differences between the parties
to combat the issue of Naxalism. As the meet had a majority of first time debaters, the executive board stepped
up and suggested the delegates on how to effectively put up their points.
The Chief Ministers of red corridor states present in the meet jointly agreed to become signatories to Interstate
boundary agreements. The representatives of various national parties affirmed that they would overcome ego-
based clashes and jointly work towards mitigating Naxalism by reaching a common consensus.
A special person was present among the committee, Mr. Devendra Verma, Principal Secretary, Vidhan Sabha,
Chhattisgarh who took over as the speaker of the AIPM for a temporary period and enlightened the youth with
his words.
As a lot of different solutions for eradication were put up, the speaker allowed an informal session so that the
delegates could put up a model as to how these solutions would be implemented. This informal session saw a lot
of lobbying and heated discussion, after which a model was presented to the executive board.
The model provided concise solutions which included peace talk with naxalite leaders and encouraged setting
up of industries in the affected regions. Reducing the economic disparity among tribals and the other common
people was a major goal set up by the model. In order to pursue this henceforth, the model proposed setting up
of CSR cells to promote development in these areas.
This meet is ironically called stakeholders meet, but the real stakeholders i.e. the Naxalites are never present,
but this edition of CMIP introduced the completely new concept where two naxal commanders were present in
the committee to manifest their interests and put forward their assertions. The naxalites said that they were a
product of injustice prevailing in the society and the system, and had not joined naxalism by their choice, but
rather, by force. The naxalites threatened to blow up the proposed plant to be set up by the Reliance industries.

LOK SABHA 31
st Oct-1
st Nov
The Lok Sabha commenced with eagerness and fidelity among the newly elected Members of Parliament. After
the oath taking ceremony Shri Prem Prakash PandeyJi announced the beginning of the formal session as speaker
of the House. In his address Shri Pandey Ji acknowledged about the origin and history of the Parliamentary
form of governance. He acknowledged about the sanctity of Parliamentary Democracy.
The motion to discuss on the issue of women empowerment was passed. The opening speeches of 20 members
from both the sides discussed the present status of women in our country and about various measures that can
be taken to uplift women. Then motion was passed to discuss ‘whether 33% reservation of seats in Parliament
for women will be a feasible step?’ to empower women. Different views were expressed by members of various
parties. In general it was admitted that, immediate and efficient measures are required at the grass root level to
empower woman in whichever role she is, just a symbolic representation will not solve the issue.
In the second session of the day after lunch, a new motion was adapted to discuss the reforms in present
reservation policies. A motion was moved by MP from Dhauraha to discuss on changes to be brought in
existing reservation policies. The day ended after the above motion was passed.
Next day the house resumed from the last session, a bill was tabled by MP, Ghaziabad to apply the Creamy
layer exclusion system in providing reservations to SC/ST’s in reserved seats for admission in education
institutes and appointment in Central Govt. Services. The bill was accepted for discussion and after the final
reading, the government refused to support the bill, dramatically the opposition supported the bill and voting
was done. The bill was not passed as it required two-third majority. The members who supported the bill from
the ruling party were suspended by the party. The government was questioned on its stance on the issue of a
wealthy and economically advanced community demanding reservation through aggressive movement that was
turning violent. M.P.’ from Gujarat and other states expressed their views on the undeserving demands of some
communities nationwide.
A national crisis followed the discussion. Attention was called on a violent attacks by Separatists in various
parts of Kashmir in which various casualties were reported and the involvement of Pakistani terrorists was also
revealed. The Home Minister and Defence Minister informed the house about the immediate actions taken to
control the situation. Then the speaker called the house for Closed Door Discussion on Kashmir Issues. The
issue of abrogation of Article 370, Cross Border terrorism in Kashmir and a communal intolerance was
discussed openly with heated arguments between some M.P.’s. During the end of the discussion for the first
time majority of members from all the parties were seen standing together and committed to resolve the long
pending Kashmir issue. The House was adjourned till next session.
