All India Political Parties Meet

With the absence of legislative power of the parliament, the initial purpose of the forum was for unrestricted political debate, discussion, and deliberation, which may not be allowed in parliament due to time constraints, but this body now aids in providing a better insight into national issues. The AIPPM committee, unlike other conventional MUN committees characterized by heated debates, cross talks, high levels of negotiation, and political democracy, echoes hopes of change and evolution!
