Parliament – the seate of Repre-shame-tatives of India!!

Indian Parliament off late has become the biggest cause of shame to the nation. The house representing the voice of the common citizens of the country has climbed down the stairs of respect and integrity with every new day. In a country where Right to speech guarantees opposite views, misuse of the fundamental right is best picked from scenes within the house of the people.

Every other day there is news of the house being adjourned in sake of something that has almost no relevance in any form to the nation’s affairs. Today the prime view of Indian opposition is that of persons seemingly lacking rationale, opposing everything the party in power seems to do because it’s the only meaning derived by them for their tag- opposition.

Broken mikes, slogans, dharnas, catchy statements and incessant demand of resignations over a fly’s bite is the characteristics of our Parliament. In the present running session of the Parliament, the house of elders (for namesake) hasn’t functioned a single whole day of agenda. This shows the effective lessons of Punctuality and Duty displayed for the nation to follow by our so called “Elder” leaders of the nation.

The Lok Sabha had recently seen scenes of as many as 25 MPs suspended for inappropriate

behaviour in the house, a house chaired by a women speaker which just goes on to say why India is considered a place with low regards for women. And as if reverberations of the act, the opposition chooses to stall proceedings with the same issue and some other irrelevant issues just because of their numerical supremacy in the Rajya Sabha.

What is hidden behind this is that a stalled house implies a stalled nation. Rajya Sabha is due to table some legitimate bills that could pave the future course of the country such as “GST act” , “land acquisition bill” reforms, etc. to name a few.If this was not enough the latest shame they have brought before a visiting Bhutanese delegation in the house has lifted all trust in our opposition forces.

India has voted a majority government to power in the last elections with a believe to empower the worthy leaders to change the seemingly faltering nation’s fate and just when the nation had begun to grow restless for a Maggi styled “Ache Din”, the opposition led by the phenomenal loser who incidentally was the PM candidate against the present PM has done what it does best: swung back the public sentiments with the government.

All this leads to a valid question, was the last election a phase-I to empower the Modi-fied India and should as patriotic Indians who wish to ensure the Parliament remains our democracy’s temple ensure those 40 reduce to zero in 2019 ??
