Tough Speaker?

        Meera Kumar, daughter of Late Babu Jagjiwan Ram, came to news, when she was nominated as candidate for the post of speaker of fifteenth Loksabha by U.P.A., as before her, no woman in the history of Loksabha ever become speaker, It was believe that as she is woman and it will not be a easy task for her to run the house smoothly by controlling the members who often become vocal, try to disrupt the proceedings of the house and opt walk out, whenever they are not satisfy with the policies of ruling party, as tax payers huge money goes into running of both houses’ and with disruptions, uproar and walk out it sends wrong signals to the countrymen especially tax payers, whose money become part of running the houses’, but not utilize properly because of suspension of house proceedings.
       Taking everything in account, now Speaker of 15th Loksabha Meera Kumar, while talking to media persons, few days back said that she want to teach lesson to the members of house who are lack of etiquettes and discipline. To run the house smoothly, she is considering and going to take some new steps which will be different from her predecessors, but certainly comes in the domain of Speaker, and steps will be stringent, hopefully then image and proceedings of the house will improve. As per reports disruption in question hour and lack of interest in the debate among member’s, especially matters related to the people importance; increasing indiscipline in the members of house; absence of members from the house without passing on information to the house; till date score of members have not furnish details of their properties, which is mandatory to submit in ninety days after winning elections; all these are anti parliamentarian and make her sadden. She make mind to talk with every political parties of the countries. Now, if believe on to the reports, she is working hard and seriously to get control of every condition which becomes reason for suspension of the house. While revealing some of her actions which can be comes into practice in coming session of house, at the press advisory committee meeting, she said that she is contemplating to shift the timing of question hour from morning to evening, along with it she express that she is seriously considering the absence of union chemical and fertilizer minister Mr. Ajagiri, who is on foreign country tour when the parliament session is on, without feeling necessity to giving information to the chairperson of the house. She firm believer that house run on discipline and morals. It is not that she is angry with all the members or have differences with all the members because she not forget to applaud the members who respect and consider their responsibilities towards the house and in this list Prime minister is on top of the list because whenever he has to go out of country then he never skip to inform my office. It is not that she was only upset with the absence of Union chemical and fertilizer minister, but opposition parties in both the houses had also taken notice of it, sometimes this make the situation awkward for the chairperson to handle it. Meera Kumar’s initiatives once implemented, then there is no doubt in coming times, the scene inside the parliament will be different from right now and it will be pleasing feel to watch the proceedings of the house in nice, discipline and new avatar.
      From past few years, as live telecast of parliament session started, and some members behaviour of indiscipline, it make common people feel that despite, in the house chairperson/speaker is presiding, either members have not fear of any action or Speaker are without power or ignore to use them against unruly members as only words of speaker/ chairperson are heard please, please, but hopefully it will be history, once Meera Kumar initiatives comes into force.
