Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, who also serves as the Rajya Sabha Chairman, took a jibe at Members of Parliament (MPs) after a recent disruption in Parliament. Dhankhar criticized the MPs for their unruly behavior, claiming that people in the country have now come to accept disorder as the new order.
The remark came following a ruckus in Parliament, where opposition MPs were involved in protests and disruptions during proceedings. Dhankhar's comments underscore the growing concerns regarding the erosion of parliamentary discipline and the repeated interruptions in the House, which have hindered the legislative process.
Addressing the issue, Dhankhar stated that the public expects decorum and order in Parliament, but the continuous disruptions are sending a negative message. He emphasized that such behavior not only undermines the functioning of the legislature but also diminishes the seriousness of parliamentary debates.
The Vice President’s comments have sparked a fresh debate over the behavior of MPs and the need for stricter measures to maintain discipline in Parliament. Critics argue that repeated disruptions and protests are becoming commonplace, affecting the efficacy of parliamentary proceedings.
Dhankhar’s statement is also seen as a call for MPs to adhere to the principles of order, respect, and constructive debate, which are essential for a healthy democratic process. As Parliament prepares for the upcoming sessions, the issue of maintaining decorum remains a significant challenge for the institution.
