All fine rhetoric in the Parliament but nothing will happen on the ground. The Indian Judicial budget is around ₹12, 000 crores, mostly funded by the states. There is a shortage of around 5,000 courtrooms and 42,000 judicial officers even as per the sanctioned strength. To make meaningful change, the manpower and infrastructure has to be increased many times over.
The less said about the police system, the better. Indian police forces are riddled with problems of corruption and misuse of authority, and are often seen as stooges of the parties in power. Massive increases in manpower, training and infrastructure, along with structural reforms are necessary to stem the rot, and to make meaningful change.
Offcourse none of these issues will ever be addressed. Instead sanctimonious cliches and impassioned speeches will be the order of the day in Parliament, along with band aid, quick fix solutions to tide over public outrage quickly.
Real issues will never be addressed as that requires serious effort at policy making and execution over long periods of time, which go beyond the next elections.
The debate shows knowledge of parliamentarians
