Monsoon Session of Parliament began with customary obituary references to the sitting and former members, who died during inter-session, of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha by the Speaker and the Chair Person respectively. After the entire House paid tribute to the departed members, the House was adjourned for the day. The tone, tenor, mood and the issues to be raised by the Opposition parties are anything to go by, this monsoon session is not going to be less stormy and the worthless than the previous budget session.
Parliament is the biggest platform in democracy. Despite being the largest democracy of the world, the Parliament is treated by the parliamentarians with disdain by turning it into the ground of accusations and counter accusations between the treasury and opposition benches and never initiate a structured and constructive debate and discussion on any burning issue facing the nation.
The previous budget session has been shortest in the recent past. There are several issues which need to be discussed sensibly and sincerely and as many as 80 bills are to be introced in Parliament this monsoon session.
The important issues are: Corruption, Black money, CWG scandal, 2G Spectrum Scam, Lokpal Bill and the most important of all that directly attack the common poor people is unbridled rise in prices of all essential commodities and edible items.
But what the representatives of the people do in Parliament to solve their immediate problems is that opposition and the ruling are only seen in scoring political points over each other by making charges and counter charges vociferously, and especially the opposition MPs compell the Speaker of Lok Sabha and Chairperson of Rajya Sabha because of indifferent treasury benches adjourn both Houses to avoid any more ugly scenes in both the Houses. Main opposition BJP and other parties on Monday forced a brief adjournment of the Rajya Sabha by creating uproar over several issues including the 2G spectrum scam. Would it be inappropriate if we name the parliamentary session adjournment session instead calling budget , monsoon and winter sessions? Because in every session, there has not been seen any productive and positive result.
We as a citizen of the country request all the honourable parliamentarians not to squander crores of public money and the invaluable time over unseemly behaviour, and doing nothing to solve the problems facing the poor people and the nation as well.
