“The controversial Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 (AFSPA) and its relevance in present-day Indian democracy with special emphasis on regional stability in North East” is the agenda in hand for the MPs to deliberate upon and debate whether it is still a necessity to maintain national security or just a shield for absolute power? The diversity and broadness of the agenda require precise and pragmatic solutions with justified arguments from the committee. 

Greetings to all Members of the Parliament,

The Executive Board welcomes you to the Lok Sabha committee of SAIMUN VII. We are more than excited to provide experienced veterans with a platform for heated debates and join first-timers on their maiden journey into the world of conferences. The agenda that we have, has been one of the most controversial topics of Indian History, an Act which contradicts its purpose, or maybe it is just a law that’s better shaped the nation’s security, well, it is up to all of you to work together and figure out what the reality behind it is. 

Pushing your minds past your limits and deliberating over excruciating issues of national Interest is what the Executive Board expects the members to indulge in. Dynamic and intense sessions involving the needs and demands of the people, concerns of national security and justifications to every statement should be addressed with utmost clarity. Not just an environment to debate but also one to find real-life solutions. This study guide is just an opening to the world of research, it is rather a document to direct your research, clarify the agenda, and declare the needs of the committee. 

The most important part of your research is to bring out new ideas, perspectives, and pragmatic solutions. The Executive Board and Teacher Director are more than eager to help you with any further issues. We are also open to any queries, doubts, and recommendations you may have. Until then, let's all work together to make SAIMUN VII a fun, exciting, and unforgettable memory.

With Warm Regards,

SPEAKER – Aanansh Shinde (7449@sathyasaiindore.com)
