Options Before Chairperson

      Yesterday was the day when Government tabled Women Reservation Bill in the upper house of parliament and because Government has sufficient numbers to pass the bill in both the houses’, as Women reservation bill is not only supported by parties of ruling alliance United Progressive Alliance (U.P.A.) but also by opposition parties barring three parties Rashtriya Janta Dal (R.J.D.).Bahujan Samaj Party (B.S.P.) and Samajwadi Party (S.P.), it was believed that Women reservation bill will be pass by both the houses’ on same day that is on 8th March, but when bill tabled in the upper house, the scene was unparliamentary because of leaders of opponents of this bill disrupts the proceedings of the house and even tear off the copies of the bill after they reached near to the chair of chairperson of the upper house, and because of disruptions by opponents ,house was adjourned four times during the day then house suspended for the day without any work in the upper house. This type of uproar, walkout and disruptions are quite normal in the parliament and citizen of this country always confuse that despite having chairpersons who are in charge of the houses’, why unable to stop such unpleasant moments? Don’t they have any power to control them?
      Answer of these questions comes yesterday, when sadden chairperson of Loksabha Mrs. Mira Kumar, on to the activities and uproar by the opponents of the Women reservation bill, said that chairpersons of the houses’ are powered by alternatives to control the house but usually they avoid to use them as this is not good for democratic set up, perhaps that is the reason that opponents often take leverage of this and uproar, walkout and disrupts house proceedings as per their will, but other side of their action is that huge money goes into the functioning of both the houses’ of tax payers of this country and if houses’ have to be disrupts and normal work not takes place then it is the wastage of tax payers money, so it is the liabilities of the chairpersons of both the houses’ to make good balance between the normal proceedings of the house and tax payers money should not be wasted by disruption and without work. Chairperson should ready to use all alternatives which are at his/her disposable so that proceedings of the house won’t lapse plus it will be lesson for uncontrollable, unruly members of the house if they cross their limits then chairperson of the house has power which may be harsh and not good for him/her or for his/her party, but certainly good for the houses’ and tax payers money who bear the cost of the functioning of the houses’, but ignoring from years and chairpersons have generate a wrong practice by adjourning the house .Now from past few years as both the houses’ have their Television channels and house proceedings broadcast live which are watch by countless persons but such irresponsible behaviour of members sends wrong signal to the followers of Parliament proceedings.
     As a common citizen of this country and I am sure everybody will be agree with me that chairperson of both the houses should use all the alternatives which he/she have as power to control unruly members of the house, instead of adjourning the houses, so that effectively, peacefully and democratic manners our both houses’ should function, which are highest regarded institution of Democracy.
