New Delhi, November 8 2022: To lay the framework of the National Legislators’ Conference (NLC), which is a historic effort to create a first-of-its-kind multi-partisan forum, a Round Table Discussion was held at the Constitution Club of India, New Delhi today. Former Speakers of Lok Sabha — Smt. Sumitra Mahajan, Smt. Meira Kumar and Shri Shivraj Patil – who are patrons of NLC, took part in the round table discussion highlighting the importance of NLC, scheduled to be held in Mumbai from 16th to 18th June 2023.
Former Lok Sabha Speakers said the upcoming National Legislators’ Conference would strengthen the fabric of democracy and make it a powerful forum for good governance.
