The Indian Parliament

Parliament-foundation stone of democracy,law&order,secularism and unity of India. It is comprised of the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha. The Lok Sabha comprises of 542 members elected from all parts of India and the Rajya Sabha comprises of members of different parties from all states. Both the houses are important for the smooth functioning of India. Both houses have persons of the highest integrity and patriotism but of late their number is dwindling.
Under the Constitution the Parliament is purely a legislative body whose job is to frame legislation suitable for the whole country. The Constitution envisions that all legislation should be passed by consensus. Unfortunately in the present times partisan interests are prevailing over national interest. A lot of time is wasted in unnecessary disruptions and walk outs. Important legislations are pending approval by Parliament on important national issues. As a consequence of the paralysis in Parliament extra-constitutional mafias have emerged who are subverting democracy and the Constitution! The Supreme Court,which is the guardian of the Constitution,has been doing a great job in preserving democracy and rule of law in the country.
I earnestly appeal to all the members of our Parliament to do their job sincerely and honestly so that future Indian generations can be proud of our democracy!
