Extract from the Article:
The current parliamentary session is
characterized by a persistent deadlock, leading to a lack of legislative
progress.
The Minister of Law and Justice, Arjun Ram
Meghwal, disclosed the legislative agenda for the upcoming week in Lok Sabha.
Shockingly, during the initial week of the winter session, the Lok Sabha only utilized 3% of its allocated time,
indicating a significant inefficiency in conducting legislative affairs.
The situation highlights a critical issue
where the parliament's functioning is compromised, hindering the crucial
process of lawmaking and governance.
The inadequate utilization of time raises
concerns about the effectiveness of parliamentary sessions and the ability of
legislators to fulfill their responsibilities. This deadlock can have
far-reaching consequences on policymaking and addressing pressing issues that
require legislative intervention.
My Take:
200
Hours for 67 Bills
"In my blog from
2011, I discussed the challenges of limited time for discussing numerous
bills in the Indian Parliament.
The current scenario of low parliamentary
efficiency, as seen from the recent article, reinforces the importance of
optimizing the time available for legislative debates.
My proposal to allocate specific time slots
for each bill could enhance constructive discussions and decision-making."
A
Winter of Discontent
"Reflecting on the unproductive winter
session described in my blog, the recurring theme of wasted time and disruptive
behavior among parliamentarians seems to persist.
It is crucial to address the root cause of
such inefficiencies and disruptive conduct to ensure meaningful legislative
outcomes. Implementing reforms to promote decorum and effective participation
in parliamentary proceedings is essential to avoid repeating past
failures."
LS
Speaker Om Birla would like this
"In my recent
blog, I proposed a radical shift towards virtual parliamentary sessions to
manage unruly behavior and improve the efficiency of legislative functions.
The idea of virtual sessions, with mechanisms to regulate
member conduct remotely, could be a viable solution to prevent disruptions and
ensure a more productive parliamentary environment.
Embracing innovative approaches like virtual sessions may
offer a way forward to break the deadlock impeding legislative work."
Call to Action:
To the Members of Parliament:
Embrace technological solutions like virtual parliamentary sessions to enhance
efficiency and decorum in legislative proceedings.
Prioritize constructive debates and
decision-making to fulfill your duty towards the citizens and effectively
address pressing issues. It's time to adapt to modern methods to break the
deadlock and drive meaningful legislative outcomes.
