Sonam Wangchuk Urges PM Modi For Decriminalised Parliament

Activist Sonam Wangchuk has called for a peaceful revolution to bring changes in the way leaders are chosen in India. In a post on social media, Wangchuk urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to work towards a decriminalised Parliament, a promise the Prime Minister had made in 2014.

Wangchuk stated that close to half of the Members of Parliament have criminal cases pending against them, with a third facing serious charges such as murder, rape, and kidnapping. He believes that this has led to a trust deficit in the nation.

The activist has sought public suggestions for selfless men and women he can consult on reforms. He wants to gather opinions from the best minds in the country on the changes needed and how to bring them about.

Wangchuk has appealed to the public to participate in this movement, saying that together, they can start India's second independence movement. He has also requested people to spread the message and translate it into their regional languages.

In 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had pledged to tackle the presence of criminal elements in Indian politics and Parliament. He had promised to establish a committee to examine pending criminal cases against newly elected Members of Parliament.

Wangchuk's call for a decriminalised Parliament has sparked a conversation about the need for reforms in the country's political system. With the country celebrating its 75th anniversary of independence, Wangchuk's message has resonated with many who are seeking change.

The activist's movement is not just about bringing about change in the political system but also about restoring trust in the nation. By seeking public participation and suggestions, Wangchuk hopes to create a movement that will bring about meaningful change.

As India looks to the future, Wangchuk's call for a peaceful revolution serves as a reminder that the country still has a long way to go in terms of achieving true democracy.

The movement has the potential to bring about significant changes in the country's political landscape, and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds in the coming days.
