The nation has been witnessing agonisingly, the stalling of the Parliamentary proceedings over the last fortnight over various issues.
While every political party is entitled to raise issues and voice its rightful concerns in Parliament through their elected representatives, no party is entitled to disrupt the smooth functioning of the august house. To me, it appears that the opposition is getting jittery over the fact that Modi is fast becoming popular across the country as he's poised to introduce badly needed reforms through back up legislation. The two bills that are currently hanging fire are the ones that cover the 'coal block allocation' and the 'introduction of FDI in the insurance sector'!
But from the government side why isn't there a conciliatory gesture, a tentative step towards rapproachment? The opposition is demanding that the Prime Minister should make a statement on the recent spate of religious conversions. Why can't he just do that? Or is it a question of egos? And that too at the expense of the interest of the nation?
And talking about the subject of conversions, why has the RSS become strident over the issue and is going about making statements galore that's definitely not helping the Prime Minister in his thrust for providing good governance ? One was under the impression that the organisation would go along with what Modi requires as he's been nurtured by it and supports him wholeheartedly! Is it all a political game that has larger dimensions which can't be assimilated by you and me? Or is it waiting for the declaration of the results of the recently conducted elections for the Jammu and Kashmir, as well as the Jharkhand Assemblies?
The bottom line is that this nonsense has to stop.
Tailpiece.
And the MPs should not be allowed to draw their allowances for the unproductive sessions.
