At least , we know one thing
Going by the following news report ( DNA – 08 March ) ,
salaries of MPs will not be fixed by an “ independent commission “ :
“ Centre won’t set up panels to fix MP salaries “
Attorney
General KK Venugopal submitted that the Centre had ruled out the idea of
setting up independent commissions to fix salaries of MPs and MLAs. This, the
top law officer said, would lead to complications as similar demands would be
raised from other quarters.
Following Venugopal’s submission, the top court
bench, comprising Justices Jasti Chelameswar and Sanjay Kisan Kaul, reserved
judgement on a plea filed by NGO Lok Prahari, challenging the amendments made
by the Parliament to the Salary, Allowances and Pension of Members of
Parliament Act, 1954, along with pension and other facilities granted to former
Parliamentarians.
At the previous hearing, the court had observed
that benefits accorded to most lawmakers who have largely worked a lifetime in
order to represent the public in the Parliament ensure they lead their lives in
a dignified manner.
“For securing that tenure, quite a lot of them have
dedicated their entire lifetime,” Justice Jasti Chelameswar had said. However,
the bench acknowledged that the practice of parliamentarians determining their
salaries was a ‘moral’ and ‘ethical issue’.
“ Lead their lives in a dignified manner “ ?
I don’t know if the Supreme Court was referring to
their ( MPs ‘ ) lives outside the parliament or how they behaved inside the
parliament , the whole of last week !
But, when I proposed that we enable an Artificial
Intelligence based software to fix “ monthly variable pay “
of the MPs , I had clearly included for consideration , those MPs ‘s lives ,
both within and outside the parliament !
