Delhi Assembly Committee Supports Independence Proposal
The Delhi Assembly wants to be more independent, like other legislatures.
Right now, it borrows staff and money.
The Rules Committee proposed its own staff and financial freedom.
This is similar to what Parliament and state legislatures have.
The aim is to help the Delhi Assembly work better, aligning with constitutional principles.
If approved, it will bring the Delhi Assembly at par with others.
The Rules Committee agreed to an independent secretariat and financial autonomy.
The proposal aims to strengthen the Delhi Vidhan Sabha's institutional framework.
The committee will submit a report in the upcoming Monsoon Session.
The Delhi Assembly currently relies on staff from various government departments.
The proposal aligns with Articles 98 and 187 of the Constitution.
