The Attorney General of India, as per Article 88 of the Constitution, has the right to speak and to take part in the proceedings of both Houses of Parliament, but without the right to vote. While the AG can participate in parliamentary proceedings, they cannot be a member of a Lok Sabha committee. Therefore, only participation and speaking rights are granted, not membership or voting.
