In a dialogue reminiscent of the friendship of a hit TV show, the heads of the
Organising Committee for the Scottish Indian Youth Parliament (lovingly branded IYP)
candidly shared their perspectives on their experiences and high hopes for the
imminent event. With the Lok Sabha's focus on the contentious issue of media
censorship in India, and the Rajya Sabha setting its sights on India's impending G20
presidency, these committee revelations provide a tantalizing peek into the fervor and
eagerness surrounding this exceptional platform.
Reimagining 'Friends': A Voyage Fueled by Unity
Picture the Organising Committee of an event as a cast of characters drawn from the
cherished sitcom "Friends." This analogy transcends the realm of imagination for the
Deputy Head, Dia Agarwal, who playfully likened their journey to a real-life
embodiment of the show's camaraderie. The bond within the committee is underscored
by the resonating chords of the theme song "I'll Be There for You," epitomizing the
collective resolve to orchestrate a triumphant event. From brainstorming sessions that
stretch into the night to strategic meetings that defy the clock, the committee
members have woven a bona fide connection, evident not only in their shared vision
but also in the seamless embrace of each other's strengths and idiosyncrasies, a
mirror of the adored TV friendships.
Lok Sabha: Media Censorship in India
The vexing specter of media censorship, a topic of global disquiet, finds itself squarely
in the crosshairs of the Indian Youth Parliament. Animated by the conviction that

informed citizenry. The spotlight remains fixed on the Lok Sabha agenda, as the
Indian Youth Parliament endeavors to furnish a dais for impassioned dialogues
regarding media censorship in India. The committee envisions a constellation of
eminent journalists, media pundits, and legal luminaries gracing the occasion,
enriching delegates with multidimensional insights into the intricate nuances of this
issue.
Rajya Sabha: India's G20 Presidency
Shifting gears to the Rajya Sabha, the focus converges on India's impending
presidency of the G20. With the global crisis of climate change, economic disparages,
and international cooperation looming large, the committee is poised to steer riveting
discussions that contemplate India's mantle as a vanguard on the global stage.
Recognizing the G20 presidency as a potent opportunity to showcase India's resolute
commitment to grappling with pressing worldwide concerns, the organising committee
remains resolute in its mission.
Anticipating Fiery Speeches
As the guest list takes shape for this monumental event, the spotlight trains on two
towering figures: Shri Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi. Renowned for their
impassioned oratory, these political luminaries are expected to infuse gravitas into the
proceedings. Given their track record of vociferous and often vehement debates on the
political stage, the committee envisions a dynamic exchange of impassioned
addresses, capable of galvanizing delegates. The anticipated juxtaposition of their
viewpoints promises to ignite vibrant debates and ignite contemplative conversations
among participants.
