The opposition's Presidential poll candidate Yashwant Sinha on Friday termed a new list of words deemed 바카라unparliamentary바카라 and circular forbidding demonstrations inside the Sansad Bhavan premises were the latest in a series of 바카라unprecedented assaults바카라 on democracy in the country.
Addressing a press conference here as part of his campaign, the former Union minister claimed the parliamentary system of democracy, under the current regime, looked 바카라pangu바카라 (crippled) and urged the public to 바카라wake up바카라 before it was too late.
바카라In every democratic system, the House of directly elected representatives allows for free debate. This is a reason why words uttered inside Parliament fall outside the ambit of judicial review. With all types of words which can be used to criticize the government deemed unparliamentary now, we are witnessing yet another assault on the country's lokshahi (democracy)바카라, said Sinha, who has served as a Member of Parliament for several terms.
The bureaucrat turned politician who had held important portfolios such as Minister for External Affairs and Finance in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, also expressed outrage over the circular that forbids MPs from staging a demonstration in front of an imposing statue of Mahatma Gandhi within the Parliament complex.
바카라Parliamentary system of democracy is all about debates and discussions, on the floor as well as outside and at various committees. But the country and the Constitution seem to have gone into the wrong hands. Democracy is under attack on an unprecedented scale, on a daily basis. It has never looked so crippled (pangu)바카라, he added.
Sinha, who was a Bihar cadre IAS officer until he took the political plunge four decades ago, also referred to the Agnipath controversy which had left the state in throes of a violent protest. 바카라In every country, there is a military service and there is a national service which provides the youth with an opportunity to serve on an ad hoc basis. Agnipath falls in neither category. The Agniveers will be on the streets (Sadak veer) after completing four years of service and we cannot imagine the social unrest it will lead to바카라, he noted grimly.
Sinha acknowledged that as per the Constitution, the President did not enjoy many powers but asserted that the right person for the job 바카라could summon the Prime Minister and advise him on various issues바카라. 바카라The problem is that there is no mechanism in place which can put a check on the current regime's recklessness바카라, said the former BJP leader.
