The participants are expected to voice several demands to urge the government to implement the promised reforms.

Among the demands that will be voiced include those related to the Protection of Whistleblowers Act 2010 and the Official Secrets Act 1972 which empowers the government to declare any information as an official secret, so it cannot be disclosed.

Others include the term limit for the Prime Minister and abolition of the Sedition Act 1948 as well as calling for a moratorium on discharge not amounting to acquittal (DNAA) in corruption cases.
