It is a matter of immense personal satisfaction that in the present session 2 bills have been passed in #Parliament on which many hours of hearing stakeholders and analysing provisions have been spent by 2 separate Parliamentary Committees of which I’m a member. The first - the Mediation Bill (scrutinised by the Committee on Public Grievances, Personnel &Law&Justice) will ease the burden of arrears in civil courts&tribunals, facilitate speedy & inexpensive justice& hopefully make India an international mediation hub. The second - the Jan Vishwas Bill( dealt with by the specially constituted Jan Vishwas committee which analysed almost 200 criminal provisions & recommended that they be decriminalised) has removed from the statute books several decrepit colonial provisions, rationalised the criminal law, reduced the burden on criminal courts and facilitated the ease of doing business. It was a pleasure working with all members of both committees consisting of members from all parties. Whatever optics the floors of both houses afford, all members across party lines work in right earnest for public interest in Parliamentary Committees
