HONG Y1 F35 Indian Parliament 03 Feb 2025 Introduction The freedom we enjoy today is ours due to the lifelong struggle of our ancestors who fought tooth and nail for it. People from different backgrounds joined the show, inspired by the ideology of freedom, equality and democracy. And as we know the conditions under which people were under the British Raj or colonial rule, the centuries of oppression and oppression of our ancestors made them yearn for freedom, a sense of justice and the ability to say “No” without fear of terrible punishment. The freedom movement changed the situation and brought them hope for a better and brighter future. The nationalists responsible for the movement began to educate people about right and wrong and encouraged them to fight for their rights; began publicly criticizing the colonial government and demanding equal and fair treatment for all whites. Legislation such as the Government of India Act of 1909 allowed Indians some form of elected representation under the British colonial government or commonly known as the British Raj. Established after 1947, the Indian parliament is a sign of people’s hope and faith in the democracy and secularism of the Indian government. The Indian Parliament presents to us the united front of our freedom fighters and reflects the country’s secularism and democracy. The purpose of the constitution and the parliaments formed was to ensure that corruption and other unfavorable conditions do not blind the freedom won through struggle and sacrifice. The idea of ​​”involving the people in the decision-making process and forming the government by giving them the privilege of choosing their own leaders not only made the government favorable to the citizens but also ensured that power and position could not be used by those in power with great importance because it is considered the property of the state because it consists of citizens of the country elected by the people. We know that Lok Sabha elections are usually held every five years so that no government or political authority can fulfill its responsibilities for the welfare of the citizens In short, democracy is the art and science of using the physical, financial and conceptual resources of the country for the common good of all citizens, and the parliament is a political institution that helps the government to achieve the concept of democracy and sovereignty.

Impeachment of the President of India: Impeachment refers to questioning the integrity or legitimacy of someone or something while in office; The charges explain that since the impeachment is known, the term “violation of the constitution” is not defined in the constitution. Either an Indian parliamentary building such as Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha can raise the office of the president. ¼ of the members of parliament making the accusations must sign the accusations and the president must be given 14 days before the dismissal.
