Congress to Build District Legal Teams and State Rapid Response Units

AICC unveiled the plan as part of a wider reorganisation, with rollout expected after a presentation to the party’s top leadership.

Overview

  • The AICC announced activation and expansion of its Law, Human Rights and RTI Department to the district level across India.
  • Each administrative district will field a team of at least five prominent lawyers to coordinate activities and handle party litigation.
  • Every state will form a Rapid Response Force of at least five leading lawyers to quickly take up matters in state courts.
  • A computerised, state-wise alphabetical directory of department members will be compiled to aid coordination.
  • An internship programme will attach one or two professionals aged 21–28 to each of the party’s 127 MPs, with a later extension to MLAs.
