Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

A REFERENDUM ON GST ?



Shri Arun Jaitley-ji and Shri Piyush Goyal-ji are saying ,


"  Come what may , but GST will be implemented by 01 April 2016 "

May be they know of some way to bypass Lok Sabha / Rajya Sabha  ?


If our Constitution allows , NDA would perhaps consider a Nation-wide referendum , which reads :

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"  Do you support implementation of a nation-wide GST as per Bill introduced in Lok Sabha ?

YES (  )   /  NO (  )  "

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NDA may even allow legitimate Voters to vote on this , using a One-Time Use / Self-Destruct , mobile app called :

GST

I hope that all those who vehemently criticized 3 repeat Ordinances on Land Acquisition Bill , would support such a solution , after watching the helplessness of NDA to pass GST in the last session of Lok Sabha


Because , if they oppose the referendum , voters would know who stands in way of India's economic progress !


And voters would remember that while voting in all the coming elections - State or Central  !


I suspect that a Referendum may not be constitutionally valid - and , therefore , may not have the force of a law


Nor can any Central Government , resort to a series of referendums on ,


>    Land Acquisition Bill

>    Equal Representation of Women Bill...........etc


Long term - and a permanent solutions to opposition parties stalling the proceedings of Parliament , can be :

#    Double the " Number of Sessions " and " No of Days in each Session "
      and " Working Hours of 9 am to 9 pm "
     
#    Alternate Sessions to be re-named ,

     >   " Stalling / Debating  "  Session ,  and
     >   " Voting / Bill-passing " Session

#    Remove all chairs from the Houses . All business to be conducted while
     standing ( Speaker would continue to seat ). This will work wonders !

#   Like in most other Parliaments around the World , allow each speaker to
     speak for no more than 5 minutes

     We may improve upon this by switching off mike after 5 minutes

#   Introduce a " Stay at Home " Allowance of Rs 10,000 / - per each day
     of absence , for the Opposition MPs who remain absent 
     during " Stalling / Debating " session and Rs 20,000 / - per day for
     absenting during " Voting / Bill Passing " session

#   Any other innovative incentives that will motivate Opposition MPs to
     remain absent


One last suggestion :


Even if NDA government shies away from a GST Referendum , I urge TV Media Channels to commission one , on their own

The results would have a sobering effect on all slogan - mongers !
