LS Speaker Om Birla would like this

 

Over the past few days, Speakers ( LS + RS ) were forced to suspend some 23

odd members for shouting / rowdy behaviour / obstructing the smooth working of

the Parliament

This is the story of most past sessions of the Parliament, with very little getting

accomplished for the benefit of 140 crore citizen

Suspending members in the past has not led to any improved behaviour of current

members ( - much like capital punishment has failed to reduce the number of

murders ? )

There is only one solution to put a permanent end to this tamasha :

 

No more parliament session which is physical

 

All sessions to be “ virtual video sessions “ in which :

 

Members to participate online from their homes

 

Speaker has Admin Control, to turn off the video / audio of any rowdy / shouting

member or of a member who exceeds more than 3 minutes of speaking

 

To be able to " speak " , a member will need to fill in an Online Form on Sansad

Portal, requesting permission to speak, clearly selecting ( from appropriate drop

lists ),

 

- which session

 

- which subject / topic

 

 

Based on this, Speaker will confirm or deny permission ( this will get displayed on

the Portal )

 

Or the Speaker may email the concerned Member to just “ Record “ his / her

speech ( audio ) on the Snsad Portal , which ( assuming permission was granted ),

will get PODCAST at the allotted time-slot

 

 

Any citizen should be able to login , into any session as a Mute Spectator, by

entering his / her Aadhar ID

 

Next ?

 

Projecting entire Virtual Proceedings as a 3D volumetric Hologram on a Smart

phone, using technology developed by IKININC

All of this “ Virtual Loksabha “ platform development could be done in less than 3

months and at a cost of less than Rs 50 crore

 

This is one time cost

 

Now consider the SAVINGS

 

Let us assume that , in a year Parliament meets for 100 days ( all sessions put together )

 

Each session is for 8 hours

 

That translates into 800 work-hours / year

 

Recent press releases put the cost at Rs 1.5 crore / hour

 

Hence implementing my suggestion would save the country Rs 1,200 crore / year

 

 

No doubt, most of the Political Parties would oppose my suggestion

 

There is one way, we can get all parties to accept this

 

By conducting an ONLINE  SURVEY and publishing the results

OR,

 

BJP could incorporate this item ( proposed Governance Reform ) in its Sankalp

Patras ( Election Manifestos ) for the forthcoming Dec 2022 elections in 7 States

 

This single one item will ensure that it wins absolute majority in all the 7 States !

 

With regards,
