Owaisi Challenges 3 Bills, Warns of Threat to Democratic Governance

Asaduddin Owaisi has raised serious concerns regarding three recently introduced bills, claiming they pose a significant threat to the principle of Separation of Powers, a cornerstone of democratic governance.

Bills Grant Excessive Power to Executive Agencies, Owaisi Argues

Owaisi argues that these bills grant excessive power to executive agencies, effectively blurring the lines between the judiciary, legislature, and executive branches of government. This concentration of power, he warns, could lead to an abuse of authority and undermine the checks and balances essential for a healthy democracy.

Concerns Over “Judge, Jury, and Executioner” Role

The core of Owaisi’s objection lies in the bills’ potential to allow executive agencies to act as “judge, jury, and executioner.” He emphasizes the danger of allowing the same body to investigate, prosecute, and enforce judgments, which could lead to unfair practices and erode public trust in the fairness and impartiality of the system.
