Posted On: 20 DEC 2024 11:44AM by PIB Delhi
Amid disruption today in Rajya Sabha, Chairman Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar expressed concern over the state of parliamentary proceedings, stating,
“Honourable Members,
The world watches our democracy, yet we fail our citizens through our conduct. These parliamentary disruptions mock public trust and expectations. Our fundamental duty to serve with diligence lies neglected.
Where reasoned dialogue should prevail, we witness only chaos. I urge every parliamentarian, regardless of party, to examine their conscience.
The citizens of our democracy – one-sixth of humanity – deserve better than this spectacle.
We squander precious opportunities that could serve the greater good of our people.
I hope Members will introspect deeply, and citizens exercise their accountability.
These hallowed chambers deserve conduct that honors our oath, not theatrics that betray it.”
