As this monsoon session was going on and passing of bills
were just flooding gave the feel that after long time some work was going in
our parliament. And it really feels good when we saw some debate instead of
stalling of parliament.
But it is not all about bright side because for ambitious
politics they have to show some active work. You can understand from the
decision of the parliament such as bringing RTI act (amendment) 2013 bill, just
after the CIC decision of bringing national parties under the RTI act. How
consciously all parties got feared about it that they even don’t want to delay
it. Only some MPs are opposing to this bill and not surprisingly that their
party do not belong to parties which are under RTI act. And we can easily
understand that what could have been their opinion if their party would have
also been under it.
Their activeness does not end here; they passed the
representation of the people (amendment and validation) bill that effectively
says that people in jail have the right to contest polls. This took just some
minutes discussion to pass it. Means they care more about who are in jail and
about their rights rather than making any such law which will not allow happening
any such things by which innocent people may get detain in such circumstances.
It shows that how active our parliament have become where we
can see the bills getting passed immediately after some time which are in favor
of political parties and other bills took 4 to 9 years or more. What should we
call it fear or favor or affection or ill-will of MPs?
