  • Honorable Shri Venkaiah Naidu, Vice-President, Republic of India, Chairperson, Rajya Sabha December 19, 2018
    Honorable Shri Venkaiah Naidu, Vice-President, Republic of India, Chairperson, Rajya Sabha December 19, 2018 Sub: Oppose Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2018 and Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2018 STOP CRIMINALISING BODIES AND LIVES We, the undersigned transpersons, sex workers, activists, academics, and allies in Karnataka, work on various forms of extreme exploitation and with the transgender community and sex workers (including but not limited to transgender sex workers). We express grave concerns with the regressive Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill and the Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2018. Both bills are pending consideration before the Rajya Sabha now. We request the Honorable Speaker to not ​ introduce the Transgender Bill and Trafficking Bill in the Rajya Sabha and to please refer these Bills to a Select Committee of the Rajya Sabha. ​ Recently in August 2018, the Delhi High Court in Harsh Mander and ors. vs. UoI has observed that the approach of criminalising begging was not a solution to addressing the problem. “The State simply cannot fail to do its duty to provide a decent life to its citizens and add insult to injury by arresting, detaining and, if necessary imprisoning persons who beg in search for essentials of bare survival”. Both the Bills (Transgender Bill and ​ Trafficking Bill 2018) are fundamentally motivated by a criminalizing impulse. Issues which have to be seen within the lens of development are sought to be dealt with by criminal law. The state instead of taking on welfarist / developmentalist functions chooses to focus on incarcerating the poor.

  • PARLEY Relevant For: Indian Polity | Topic: Elections, Election Commission and the Electoral Reforms in India Incl
    Source : www.thehindu.com Date : 2019-06-28 PARLEY Relevant for: Indian Polity | Topic: Elections, Election Commission and the Electoral Reforms in India Incl. Political Parties Last week, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi convened an all-party meeting to discuss the idea of ‘one nation, one poll’, several parties stayed away, calling the idea “anti-democratic” and “anti-federal”. In a discussion moderated by Anuradha Raman, Tiruchi Siva and Jagdeep S. Chokkar speak of the implications of the proposed move. Edited excerpts: Tiruchi Siva: One of the reasons the ruling party puts forth [to hold simultaneous elections] is the huge expenditure involved in the election process. In a democratic country, it the right of the people to exercise their franchise. It is the discretion of the people to elect or unseat a government. Citing expenses incurred in elections is not such a big issue in a country as vast as ours. Our main contention is that as long as we have Article 356 in the Constitution, which allows any State government to be removed by the Central government, how can you be sure that the Centre will not unseat a State government for its own personal reasons by using Article 356 if simultaneous elections are held? What will happen to the remaining tenure of that elected Assembly? As long as Article 356 is in the Constitution, no State government is assured its full term of five years. Will somebody give us an assurance that Article 356 will be removed from the Constitution? Jagdeep S. Chokkar: Well, are we trying to get the cheapest possible democracy or are we trying to get the most effective and representative democracy? I think it is wrong to put a monetary value on democracy and elections.

  • Summary of Rajya Sabha Debates on the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2019
    Summary of Rajya Sabha Debates on The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2019 20 November 2019 Thawarchand Gehlot, Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment As the Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment he moved the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2019 for consideration by the Rajya Sabha. In 2012, a PIL was filed in the Bombay High Court with a view to provide protection and justice to transgender persons. A civil writ petition was preferred before the Supreme Court of India in January 2012. The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment was informed of this litigation, and it constituted a Special Committee to make recommendations on the basis of which the Supreme Court issued its decision. Further, a private member Bill was introduced by Tiruchi Shiva here in the Rajya Sabha and was passed. At that time, we told Shiva that the Supreme Court has issued a decision wherein it was expected from the Ministry of Social Justice and Development, Government of India, to frame a law to extend protection to transgender persons and to extend to them social justice and to bring them into mainstream society. Thus, this matter was referred by the said Ministry to the Standing Committee for their recommendations. The Standing Committee gave its recommendations in 2017 and on the basis of it a Bill was presented in the Lok Sabha. However, the Bill was lapsed due to the Lok Sabha being dissolved on account of general elections. Once again, the Bill has been presented in the Lok Sabha and has been duly passed by it on August 5, 2019.
