Congratulations, Shri Harivansh Narayan Singhji

For suggesting creation of a “ DISRUPTION  INDEX  “ for Members of Lok Sabha / State Legislative Assemblies

About time , too  !

Context :

From storming well to speaking out of turn, new index may map House disruptions 

In this conference, who said / suggested / recommended, what ?

[ A ]  Lok Sabha Speaker - Om Birla :

    [  ombirla@yahoo.co.in / ombirlakota@gmail.com / speakerloksabha@sansad.nic.in  ]

#   Uniform rules for all Assemblies and Parliament

#   Legislatures should not be reduced to arenas of political slug-fest

#   They are temples of democracy to raise issues related to people

#   Giving chance to all parties to participate and take them along.

[ B ]  Rajya Sabha deputy chairman, Harivansh Narayan Singh :

    [  hari.vansh@sansad.nic.in  /  harivansh@prabhatkhabar.in  ]

#   Maintain a DISRUPTION INDEX to track whether or not the members have allowed the

     House to run smoothly.

#  Live telecast may be cut off for some time if a member frequently indulges in disruption

    in the House

[ C ] Rajasthan assembly speaker,  C P Joshi

      [  cpjoshi.mp@sansad.nic.in  ]

#   Performance of a legislative body should not be counted only on the basis of the number

     of bills passed.

#   How many hours were spent discussing legislation ?

#   Are we able to move from a parliamentary democracy to a participative democracy ?

[ D ]  Punjab Assembly speaker,  Ajaib Singh Bhatti

       [  bhattiajaibsingh@gmail.com  ]

#   “ Differences and Dissent ” formed the “ basic spirit of democracy ”

#   Framework to reduce wastage of time in Zero Hour

#   A “ CODE OF CONDUCT “ for lawmakers.

[ E ]  Presiding officer from Karnataka,  Vishweshwar Hegde, 

       [  kageri1250@gmail.com  ]

#   At least 60% attendance should be mandatory, 

[ F ]  Former parliamentary affairs secretary,  Afzal Amanullah,

      [  rerabihar@gmail.com ]

#  There is no need for any additional mechanism to control disruptions.

Question :

How will the proposed DISRUPTION INDEX , lead to a better PERFORMANCE of our legislators ?

Unless, this INDEX is linked to a VARIABLE PAY for the legislators , using following formula which I had proposed in my following email to Cabinet Ministers :

[ source :   Artificial Intelligence to fix MP / MLA Salary ? /  22 Feb 2018  ]

MVP % = { ( IPF ) - ( INF ) }  X   EPD   

                          ECE

Where,

Internal Positive  Factor      ( IPF )

Internal Negative Factor     ( INF )

External Public Domain       ( EPD )

External Citizen Evaluation ( ECE )

The amount of  MONTHLY  VARIABLE  SALARY  payable to each MP / MLA will be computed  based on a  PERCENTILE SCORE  of the MP / MLA , among the entire population and made to vary between :

·         0 %  of the Basic Salary , for a score of less than 33 percentile

·         25 % of the Basic Salary , for score between 33 and  66  percentile

·         50 % of the Basic Salary , for score above 66 percentile

=========================================================

Dear Shri Pralhad V Joshiji,

[ Minister for Parliamentary Affairs ]

[ joshi.pralhad@sansad.nic.in  / pralhadvjoshi@gmail.com  ]

I urge you to consider my above-mentioned suggestion which , not only will improve the performance of our MPs and MLAs, but also bring about a much desired transparency
