Moreover, the Transitional Justice Bill was also a topic of interest during the discussion.
Pariyar informed the Prime Minister about his involvement in the Law, Justice, and Human Rights Committee’s sub-committee, which is currently deliberating the bill.
He shared that they have been engaging with victims from both the state and the rebels and gathering insights from the National Human Rights Commission, jurists, stakeholders, and other experts. All this valuable input is being used to draft a comprehensive report on the bill.
Pariyar expressed satisfaction that the Prime Minister showed seriousness in expediting the finalization of the Transitional Justice Bill as soon as possible.
