Increase parliamentary oversight on Indian intelligence agencies - Hindustan Times
Extract from the article:
The article discusses Congress MP Vrinda Tulsian's call for enhanced parliamentary oversight of Indian intelligence agencies. Tulsian has advocated for the passage of a private member bill aimed at increasing transparency and accountability within India's intelligence community.
This bill, initially introduced by Tewari in 2011 during the Congress regime, highlights the importance of ensuring proper checks and balances on intelligence operations through parliamentary scrutiny.
Parliamentary oversight plays a crucial role in ensuring that intelligence agencies operate within the bounds of law and respect fundamental rights while carrying out their duties.
Tulsian's push for increased scrutiny underscores the need for robust mechanisms to monitor and regulate intelligence activities to prevent potential misuse or overreach. By championing this bill, Tulsian seeks to uphold democratic values and strengthen accountability in national security matters.
My Take:
Surveillance - Make it a Compromise Issue
"Reflecting on my earlier blog post about the need for balance in surveillance practices, it's evident that the issue of oversight on intelligence agencies, as raised by Congress MP Vrinda Tulsian, aligns with the essence of my proposal.
Emphasizing transparency and accountability in intelligence operations is essential to safeguarding individual rights and maintaining public trust.
Tulsian's efforts to enhance parliamentary scrutiny resonate with the core principles I advocated for, promoting a harmonious relationship between national security imperatives and civil liberties."
Call to Action:
To Congress MP Vrinda Tulsian and all parliamentary members, I urge you to prioritize the passage of bills that enhance oversight on Indian intelligence agencies.
By bolstering parliamentary scrutiny, we can strengthen the democratic framework and ensure that intelligence functions responsibly and ethically.
Let's work together to uphold the principles of transparency and accountability in national security practices.
With regards,
