The nation is shocked over the recent happenings in the Indian parliament and as usual
the blame game has started. But, the primary culprits for allowing the
deterioration in the conduct of the parliamentarians to happen are the voters.
From the time the voters started voting on the basis of cash provided for
voting, the freebees, the caste, religion and the political and the economic status
of the contestants, the right people’s entry into the parliament has stopped.
The parliament is filled now with MPs who have no faith in democratic
procedures but rely more on muscle and
vocal powers to achieve their ends. The need of the hour is to create awareness
among the voters regarding the use of their votes in a very cautious and
responsible manner .
Even the opposition parties can not act as mute spectators when such
extreme incidents happen inside the parliament , they lend helping hand to the
ruling party in the restoration of the image of the Indian parliament. That is
what is expected in a mature democracy. But is is also very strange that, the speaker who has got the powers to take strict action on unruly members. always plead with them to restore normalcy or adjourn the house .
