Nebula Youth Parliament consisted of mainly two committees namely:
  1. AIPPM
  2. Lok Sabha

 AIPPM 

The topic of All India Political Parties Meet (AIPPM) was "Scope of Article 33 of the constitution and AFSPA in present day." On both days of the proceedings of the committee focused on the special powers granted to army force of our country in region of Kashmir. After the introductions and explanations were finished with, for the committee to begin; it seemed like a major part of the discussion in the committee was going to be The Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958 (AFSPA).

AFSPA is an act of the parliament of India that grants special powers to the Indian Armed forces to maintain the public disorder in ‘disturbed areas. The act has been a critical one when it comes to people being able to absorb the factual reality of it. Legitimizing the army’s powers in certain area, would control a grave situation, but could also be hazardous for the civilians. In a sense, AFSPA means that the army would be powerful enough to take decisions and matters into hand that wouldn’t be possible for them in other parts of the state. The State must have a count on the army. 
On many occasions the dedication of our brave heart soldiers has been questioned continuously by a few sections of our democratic country. Not all allegations are false, but not all of them are true either. On many occasions, videos or news pieces float the screens of our electronic gadgets. Some of them state facts and some are marketing and advertising pieces run by the public relation specialists, belonging to all parties from the top to bottom, to malign each other for the chair.
This meet consisted of resounding views and arguments that are either the for or against the notion of article 33 and AFSPA. “This power leads to hate and discrimination among the citizens” said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. To this Kamal Nath added that there have to be reasonable restrictions imposed on the armed forces, as it may lead to hazardous havocs which may create furthermore problematic situation. The ruling party was asking for accord and was in support of the army. The two perspectives and notions are drastically very different from each other. Whatever may be the ultimate resolution for the committee, we need to do keep in mind the drastic changes taking place in Kashmir in status quo. As a country the most important should be the people of Kashmir, the underprivileged population and the amenities provided to them, with or without the article. Companies listed on a stock exchange are also required to report at more frequent intervals.

Lok Sabha


The topic of discussion in the Lok Sabha was the policies of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) from the year 2014 to the year 2019.

In the second session of the committee, many new policies of the NDA led BJP government were bought into lime light. ‘Swatch Bharat Mission’ and it providing access to toilets in the rural and the remote area of the nation, too was amongst them.
