Yes it is a long time with an experience of many great personalities.

You mean you saw some live debates in parliament on the occasion of 60 years completion celebrations in parliament. I missed it.

No doubt a moment of pride for Indians but a moment for introspection too.It's surprising that this institution has survived the onslaughts of some of its own members for sixty long years!

That itself is proof enough that we can face any problem there is in the world. This is a perfect example about our thick skin that we can survive any hardships in the world with such great people to lead us. Some of them are week but they are either juniors or not yet trained enough. Sorry no pun intended.

I was disgusted to see that some of our parliamentarians who only display raw chest power and disrupt proceedings of the House at the drop of a hat,waxing eloquent on this occasion!!

I have read your article before also as well as today
I agree there is no reason for public to act lawless just because their representatives are not working lawfully. Any way there are many examples where governments in different states and even at center stayed or lost because of changed of mind or 'voice of their antratma' whatever is that.
Have a look for yourself, I can find many more examples where governments lost or won.

Thank you for the link. There were many incidents of toppling of governments. There was a period knows as 'Ayaram Gayaram' when many defected so many times that it was difficult to know who was in which party at a particular time. Later, anti defection law was passed. Now one will lose membership of legislature if he defects or disobeys party whip. But if more than one third leave the party, this is considered split and anti defection law does not operate. Hence, even now it is possible to lure members of very small parties and independents. If a party has only six members, you need only two to defeat anti defection law.
Ultimately, it is on voters to take note of such behavior of MPs. Let us hope that ultimately, our voters will also gather more experience and discourage MPs who do not behave well. There is an old saying- People get the government they deserve. Let the people deserve better representatives. Ultimately, peoples' representatives cannot be better than whom they represent.

True, that says it all. Unless we shall be aware of our duties also and not only about our rights, we shall be getting no better representatives for us.

Yes on sunday it has passed sixty years on that day the entire paper was full of parliament news.

In fact we have every right to criticize the ones who are not doing their duties with full capacity. They are sent in to parliament to work in the interest of public with crores invested on each of them but they in turn act as if they are the kings and not public servants.

We should be clear about exact job of MPs or MLAs before criticizing them. The MPs do not have executive role. Their job is to legislate. In fact, most voters contact the MP or MLA for personal work or at best some thing for the locality. If the MP is successful, we like him.

Here let me give an example. There is demand for High Court Bench at Agra. There is same demand at Meerut. MPs of both- Agra and Meerut will press for bench in their city irrespective of the right thing. If Meerut gets bench, Agra M.P. will be declared failure. If Agra gets bench, Meerut MP will be disliked. There are many similar circumstances. Now there is also question of selecting location for AIAMS. Many places want AIAMS to be located in their city. So, can all MP be successful.

In fact, we send MP or MLA on party ticket and he is supposed to work accordingly. we may be happy or unhappy with a political party but not with MP. Lok Sabha speaker, his party leader and Party whip are there to see his conduct.
