At the inaugural session of the 86th All India Presiding Officers' Conference (AIPOC) here, Mr Birla said the legislature is a powerful and effective platform for resolving the problems of the people and fulfilling their aspirations.
UP Governor Anandiben Patel will inaugurate the conference with her address. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla will also address the inaugural session.
“Transparency in decision-making fosters public trust, while inclusivity ensures that every voice — especially those on the margins of society — is heard and respected,” Birla said, adding that together these principles “sustain the legitimacy of democratic institutions and strengthen the enduring bond between the citizen and the state.”
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla handed over the chairmanship of 29th CSPOC to Sir Lindsay Hoyle, Speaker of the UK House of Commons, and wished him best for the success of the next CSPOC in London.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, who will chair the conference, said the meet will focus on how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and social media are reshaping the functioning of democratic institutions.
