The logjam in Parliament over various incidents of corruption has gone on for 11 days. Parliament has been repeated adjourned and no business has been conducted for the last 11 days resulting in a loss of Rs 25 crore of the taxpayers money. The ruckus continued on Friday too with both houses of Parliament being adjourned till Monday.
The Congress on Friday tried to take a moral high ground slamming the opposition for wasting public money. Congress MPs decided to forgo Rs 2000 they get as daily allowance while attending Parliament for the duration that the House is not able to transact business.

The parliament is for discussion on national issues and enacting law. Stoppage of work for any reason is unacceptable. The congress decision to forgo Rs. 2,000/ Daily allowance is correct. But they should also see why the parliament is being obstructed. JPC demand for probing 2G phone scam if accepted would have solved the present crisis. So, congress is to blame for this state of affairs.
The parliamentary session should go on despite deadlock. Even if the opposition is justified in asking for JPC, they should discuss the issue in parliament or go to courts or enlighten people through mass meetings and other means. They must not obstruct the proceedings of parliament. Obstruction of parliament is worse than Maoist boycott of elections.
