Why India needs a truth commission
The basic contention was the arrest was in breach of Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). In Prabir Purkayastha vs State, the release of the journalist was done based on a realistic application of Article 22 of the Constitution. The judgement said the accused must be provided with the written grounds of arrest as per Section 19(1) of the PMLA. About 76 percent of prisoners in India are undertrials, out of which a good part may be considered ‘political prisoners’. Also, we need a mechanism to probe into the political design behind such entrapments and compensate the victims of an illiberal dispensation, for which a Truth Commission should be formed.

This does not reflect the urgent need for strong and rapid action around biodiversity loss and climate change. The CUSMA environment chapter provides only brief, unenforceable recognition of voluntary commitments from corporations and “the importance of promoting corporate social responsibility and responsible business conduct” (Article 24.13). Meaningful action on the environment also requires addressing the most significant environmental challenge of our time: climate change.
