Salary and Perks hike in backburner?

Members of both houses' who were waiting and hoping that during current session of parliament bill will be present in the house of Salary and perks hike of the members, will be sadden to know that cabinet does not give its nod to the bill so it will drag further and it wont be present in the current session so they have to wait for some more time for their pockets to be heavier until bill will be present in the house, and no obstacles will comes in its way to get through without any debate or objection or uproar or walk out or disrupt of house because it is related to the members themselves which is going to inflate there pockets many folds. Joint Parliament committee, in which it recommended for Parliament members Salary and Perks hikes are –
  • Salary from present 16,000 rupees per month to 34,000 rupees per month
  • Daily allowances from 1,000 rupees per month to 2,000 rupees per month which they will get on attending parliament session
  • Constituency area allowance increase from present 20,000 rupees per month to 40,000 rupees per month
  • Office allowances from present 20,000 rupees per month to 34,000 rupees per month.
Members are getting salary and perks without performance like –
  • Whether they attend parliament or not?
  • Whether they are corrupt or honest?
  • Whether they are rich or poor thus deserve or not?
  • Whether they involve in disrupting the parliament session?
as every where in the world and every professions are on performance based. Then they are entitle for promotion, hikes and incentives depending upon there performance and results, but parliament members as per I know is the only profession which grant literately to its members whether they deserve or not salary and other benefits without accountability. As per reports cabinet defer it because of anger among people due to daily news of irregularities in awarding the different contracts and as per assessment many fold crore of rupees become part of scam and large scale funds are misused. Members believe they deserve salary and perks hikes because they are superior from secretaries who are getting right now 80,000 rupees per months and they are getting merely 16,000 rupees, which mean that they are five fold inferior from the secretaries as far salary is concern..
     Representatives of public are worried and united when time comes for their interests but when they have to debate for public or country then they always have different opinion, disrupt the house, stage walk out and its example is first week of current parliament session when even single minute of work was not done, and still no action was taken against anybody, why not they apply universal tag
                                          No    work    no     pay

    Why not they ever united for common people and for country? I think they should be monitor by some another autonomous authority and based on their performance they should get salary and perks hikes? As if somebody has power in his/ her hands to pat on their back then no body I this world would like to miss it , irrespective of it they deserve or not.
     As per news just yesterday during parliament proceedings 400 member of parliament united and raise their voices for the bill of salary and perks hikes which was defer by cabinet and in response Finance minister assured them that it will be tabled during this session and salary hikes would be from present rupees 16,000 to 50,000 rupees and that’s going to be implement without any debate and no members or party will stand in between it as it will make their pockets thick.
