Description

Parliamentary Group

A Parliamentary Group is an informal association of Members of Parliament formed to deliberate on common interests, coordinate policy positions, and engage with external bodies such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA). Although not directly mentioned in the Constitution, these groups function under the parliamentary norms derived from the rules of procedure provided in Article 118.

They play a vital role in promoting focused discussion, consensus building, and effective representation of specific issues within the larger legislative framework.
