Views in favour of Lobbying

♤ Proponents of lobbying feel that it is inherent in any democracy to convince a policy maker of a particular position.

♤ Industry chambers such as FICCI and ASSOCHAM feel that business groups should be entitled to voice their concerns related to a particular policy matter with the government if they feel their interests may be jeopardised.

♤ It is argued that making lobbying and advocacy legal would lead to a clean way of approaching the policymakers and lawmakers if they have any legitimate and genuine interests.
