Day before yesterday whole India was watching the no confidence motion against the government. One news Chanel ‘Headlines’ said that Parliament is the temple of democracy and all MP are the priests, & PM is the Head Priest. This would have been a correct corollary for someone who has not seen the proceedings of Parliament earlier. But in today’s information age someone is always watching.
The very temple of democracy was the place where democracy itself was sacrificed by the saviours of democracy. It was like a fish market.
The problem is mainly because most of the MPs are either criminals or illiterate. They don’t have any civic sense and manners. Parliament to them instead of temple of democracy is a way to become rich at the expense of the country and it’s citizens. Everyone knew earlier about the horse trading, but earlier that used to be behind closed doors. This time it has happened openly, MPs even brought the money inside the parliament.
This all shows that our country’s parliamentary system is going down the drains. It is time now for the young and educated to come forward and participate actively in building our country a great country. Minimum we can do is exercise our voting rights. That will be the starting point. That will, to some extent, stop these politicians to take us for granted.
Let us participate in building our country!
