RUKUS IN PARLIAMENT Tha passing of the two Farm Bills, whilst farmers were agitating in many States, in the most undemocratic way does not augur well for our democracy! What we saw in the live telecast and behavior leaves much to be desired. It is not understood why there was no meaningful discussion with the stake holders and the Opposition. Why such important Bills could not be sent to a Standing Committee or why despite having the numbers as claimed, voice vote was held despite demand for splitting of vote. I was surprised to see Derek OBrien holding the rule book and heckling the deputy speaker up close with 7 MPs who along with him were suspended for unruly conduct. The chair had no consideration at all and what shocked me, arrogantly extended the hour and quickly, amidst the noise, passed the Bills with voice vote without even looking up once! The agreived MPs spent the night in protest on the Parliament lawns and the deputy speaker comes and tries "Chai Ka Charcha" in the morning which was naturally refused but praised by the PM! Any means are routinely used to put down anyone who stands up to coercive power! Opposition parties "NoTrust" move against the Dy Speaker is simply denied. It appears to be my way or the highway which is also strictly partisan policed! Strict Laxman Rekha is drawn where the nation is kept firmly divided and the aam admi has to keep suffering and hope to enjoy acche din and the fruits of freedom. Reforms are required, but our PM keeps going about it in haste and in the wrong way! There is Covid, lossof jobs, China and Pakistan on our borders, economy in dire straits. India is not Gujerat, vast difference between North and South India, rich and poor. Keeping out middlemen and changing the system to mechanize farming and use farm labor migrating to towns for progress of corporates with changed labor laws etc will create more loss of jobs and hardship for the aam admi and families! Cannot understand why in this scenario so much change and disrupting people's lives. Supreme Court heeds to heed the advice of critical section of the judiciary, knowledgeable economists and government made to explain/clarify to Opposition and agitating farmers BEFORE issuing ordinances (at the drop of a hat) and thereafter bulldozing Bills!The PM seems not to bother about each and every Indian.
