Budget Session

Sir,
In the recent times the proceedings in Parliament and as well as in the State Assemblies have remained chaotic. The members from the treasury bench as well as the opposition indulge in verbal duals to score points.
The Speaker finds it difficult to motivate the members who disrupt the proceedings at the slightest of provocation. Precious time of the Parliamentary business is lost. The focus of the issue concerning public gets diluted and delayed. The Speaker is forced to adjourn the house repeatedly to maintain order in the house. Repeated disruptions of the house lead to the loss of public exchequer which runs into crores of rupees.
The members should realize the responsibility, the faith which the people have reposed on them and the duty bound to be performed by them. The decorum of the house has to be maintained at every cost. These highest Institutions of Parliamentary democracy should set an example by maintaining discipline remaining transparent and accountable.
Fruitful utilization of the precious time has to be ensured in letter and spirit for the common good of the people. Fictitious and irrelevant issues should be discouraged. It should be mendatory for a minister of a particular department to actively participate in discussions related to his department. The countrymen of the State have lot of expectations from their elected representatives and do not let them down this time. They are watching you. Your performance is your real test.
Yours etc….
