Logjam in Indian Parliament

The monsoon session of the Parliament has been thoroughly disturbed by the opposition parties esp. The Congress Party so far. Some 25 MPs of the Congress in Lok Sabha were suspended from the participation of proceedings for five working days last week. Many important pieces of legislation are pending for discussion before their passing. The adamant posture of the main opposition in dismissing the Union Foreign minister Ms. Sushma Swaraj, Rajasthan CM Vijaya raje Scindia and Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chawhan for their corrupt roles in the recent past has created a stumbling block in Parliament.

May be the Congress is showing its anger and annoyance towards the BJP in retaliation to the unruly behaviour and noncooperation displayed by the BJP in its earlier avatar as the main opposition party in the last regime. Tit for tat?

Well, who is the victim of such behaviour on the part of responsible political parties ruling this nation and also trying to become a super power and surpass China in economic and military sectors soon. We are certainly not on a right track. 

Our law makers should set good standards not only in law making but also in maintaining the decency and decorum in conducting the business of the Houses of Parliament as well as not wasting the public money and their valuable time. Public is watching and wondering what happened to our legislators. Why are they fighting like street urchins? Can't they set high standards and be a role model to the state assemblies in the process?

As the normal citizens of this country we can only plead before our leaders and parties to be responsible towards their jobs and duties.
