After seventy years after Independence, our democracy, that today stays torn by something profound and shocking, requires a panel to discipline our parliamentarians as how to behave inside the house!
Seven members from the Congress have been suspended already for alleged acts of indiscipline and disrupting the proceedings which includes misdemeanor shown at the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
Fairly recently, the BJP MP from Odisha’s Bolangir constituency, Sangeeta Kumari Singh Deo was allegedly assaulted by two woman MPs from the Congress in which she had sustained injuries also.
It is not clear whether those two Congress MPs have been chastised by the chair or not. But, the very incident came as an astonishing account for all there to see an absurd adaptation of intents for no reason.
The suspension of seven MPs till the end of the session is no mere precedent and the questions those the incidents raise are about the dangerous level of hypocrisy that our leaders hide within.
Our leaders keep commemorating the ideals of earlier leaders who were not only truth-tellers but their dispositions towards their political rivals were always within the limits of civility and restraint on emotions.
People out must be wondering who they voted for and the cynicism such behaviors trigger, is diametrically opposite to trustworthiness.
But, slowly the democratic politics grows to be inherently messy where such self-compromise and position shifting becomes an usual feature of politics.
Trooping into the well of the house or getting up to the chair of the house, some think that, they attract people towards their acts as if that of an angel or a saint, serving the masses through such repudiated manners.
