With the nation witnessing huge political scandals involving the recent 2G scam to the cash-for-vote scandal that agitated the parliament and the Indian politics, the citizens are yearning for a government run by politicians who show decent amount of sincerity and integrity. Case such as the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections in 2002, show that candidates with criminal records won 206 out of 403 seats in the assembly, implying more criminals were elected than regular politicians.
The current Prime Minister, Mr. Manmohan Singh has said that the country needed a law to define the meaning of "criminal" - and who should or should not be a minister. Such has been the scenario in Indian politics. The Washington Times reported that nearly a fourth of the 540 Indian Parliament members faced criminal charges, "including human trafficking, immigration rackets, embezzlement, rape and even murder".
But recently, MAEER’s MIT School of Government has come to organize the 1st Indian Parliament of Student Council Leaders (Bharatiya Chatra Sansad) on a two day period starting on Jan 12, 2011 at MIT Campus, Pune. With many renowned delegates including the former president Dr. Abdul Kalam, former Deputy Prime Minister, Shri. L. K. Advani, Retd. IPS officer Dr. Kiran Bedi and Olympic Boxing Medalist Shri. Vijendra Singh and more than 10,000 students of the student council of various institutions from throughout India expected to participate; the event has insightful objectives that have to be accredited by the commoners and VIPs as well.
