Record Time Lost of Parliament

       In a democracy parliament is supreme institution of country because for making any amendment in the constitution or law, first bill must be clear by the parliament then later on after clearance by the house it send to other level for their nod, but if it rejected by the house of public representatives(lower house) Lok Sabha in India then government can’t pursue further with the bill, so parliament house plays vital role in democracy, and in India billion of rupees of tax payers money goes in to meet the expenses of parliament and run the sessions, so considering this it is the liabilities and responsibilities of representatives to put their best inputs so that money spent on them by country can be justify, but shockingly it has seen that opposition parties remain silent during off time of parliament sessions but at the time of session they raise objections on to the issues’/policies of government and make it point to disrupt the house proceedings and in recent time normal functioning of the house seen very rare.
      We just entered in the new year but if we assess the working of parliament through stats of last year then we shall get very shocking details, as last year if we include budget session, monsoon session and winter session then total eighty sittings of parliament sessions were held, but because of disruptions and suspension of the house twenty seven days were lost thus no work held in parliament and it counts total one third of last year parliament sittings which was lost. Chairperson of the house Meera Kumar keep on appealing to the members but no fruitful result was seen as members ignored each and every action of speaker, and if we break up further the waste time into different session’s then it will be like this –

• During budget session sixty nine hours and fifty one minutes lost
• During monsoon session forty five hours wasted
• During winter session total twenty two days lost out of twenty three days

reason for walk out and disruption of house proceedings by opposition parties during twenty two days of monsoon session was they were demanding of joint parliament committee probe into the 2G spectrum scam, in spite of feeling the heat of opposition parties A. Raja Minster of Telecommunications resign, but demand of not less then JPC keep on stalemate the house proceedings up to twenty two days. It so much hurt the speaker of house Meera Kumar that she does not read the traditional closing statement. She was so much up set that she said that disruption of proceedings has made the important institution of democracy irrelevant, she further adds that parliament is going through serious problems.
      In a efforts to get rid on the problems of disruptions and suspension of parliament in this year budget session, speaker held meeting with all the parties for two days but its sad to code here that result of meeting was not positive and it ended without any ice break of deadlock as opposition parties were stick on the demand of JPC on 2G spectrum scam and declared other then this they won’t accept anything else. Finance Minster Mr. Mukherjee appeal to the opposition parties that if they cooperate with the government then special parliament session can be call on to the issue of 2G spectrum but everything has to be discuss on to the floor of house.
      Nobody knows how this deadlock will end and parliament will start functioning normally this year starting from budget session, other wise we can going to have one more worst year ahead as far parliament proceedings are concern and perhaps it will waste more days then last year.
