India had given birth of so many eminent intellectuals, leaders, scientists, artists and so on. From Raja Ram mohan Roy, Vidyasagar to Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore to Rishi Aurobindo, Netaji Subhash in Bengal and Mahatma Gandhi to Ballav Bhai Patel, Ambedkar, Padmaja Naidu, Malviya of other states of India sacrificed their lives for the upliftment of our country. Especially, the numerous freedom fighters like Bhakat Singh, Surya Sen, Matangini Hazra, Khudiram Bose and so many compatriots selflessly struggled for freedom from colonial rules of British. They were not like today’s leaders. They had a firm values and ethics in their lives. But there’s a drastic changes in present scinerio in regards this. Changing Values and Our Political Leaders is the topic which I have been trying to discuss here in this post.
Ultimately we have achieved freedom since 15 August of 1947. Now it’s going to complete 75 years of independence. From the very birth of independence we have been divided into two separate countries – Pakistan and India due to divide and rule conspiracy of British rulers. We know the history behind it. We can’t only blame to Britishers, our leaders were also responsible for this separation.
When two brothers become rivals of each other, their enemity never end. India and Pakistan both are the sons of same mother. But power, wealth distribution etc are the roots of helarious enemity between the two countries is a long term problems. Here we can refer the Kashmir issue. But it’s not our subject of discussion in this blog.
Last few weeks our parliamentary activities are not going on due to chaos of the opposition leaders, mainly some TMC leaders shouted and torned papers and had thrown out to Hon’ble speaker of the house. So it’s totally suspended. Yesterday a Lady Marshall has been heckled and ill- behaved by some opposition MPs of Congress. Being a public – elected MP of Parliament, how can they breaking rules of the House? If they don’t know the decorum of the parliament, they should be penalised accordingly. They should be suspended for one season. As a common public, we never support this misconduct of the parliamentarians. They’re not above law.
These MP’s are not our representatives. As a citizen of my country we can’t bother such kind of anarchism in the parliament. I think the Hon’ble speaker and also the Ministry of parliamentary affairs should take bold steps against this violence made by some notorious law-breakers MP’s. We have sent them to make laws for public – betterment, but not doing so, they’re breaking laws.
I think our Hon’ble Supreme Court is watching this matter. Already SC has taken initiatives to control this situation. MP’s must not be considered as criminals. Therefore, they should be aloof from any criminal cases in the court. But it’s matter of fact that most of the MP’s are connected with criminal cases whether they made crime or not.
Though it is true that a portion of members of parliament are corrupted. Their past and present activities are not satisfactory according to the law. They don’t care values and ethics. They’re getting MP salaries and other benefits which are fulfilled by the public taxes. Actually motherland is not superior to them. They love money and power. For their own satisfaction they can sell our motherland.
Perhaps SC will take over this matter and give orders to follow the instructions to maintain the decorum of the parliament House. If any member doesn’t follow it seriously they should have been penalised by the Hon’ble court.
I am looking forward to continue discussion about this matter. Readers who love our country can join us for discussing this issue for better India.
