NDA government is the only coalition government, which has run for three years and more. While on one side BJP and several other parties have glued together on a mutually discussed and accepted programme of governance with a determination to carry the country forward politically, socially and economically, the opposition, principally Congress, has not adapted itself to the changed situation, which has been brought about by the electorate of the country. Democracy has been likened to scissors, both of its arms being equal and opposite. But in our country opposition does not seem to realise its responsibility towards parliamentary democracy. We have absolutely no objection to the opposition playing the role of critic and opponent.
Parliament is a place for debate, discussion, deliberation and decision.
But it is not a place for behaving out of frustration, dejection and defeat. We hold congress guilty of utter disregard of the basis of parliamentary democracy by continuously interrupting the proceedings of the Houses, which are the two vital symbols of people's trust and confidence. We appeal to Congress and other opposition parties that with all our differences in policies and progammes let us see that Parliament is not made the causality in our political and electoral fight. Our political fight can be conveniently carried on outside the Parliament from our respective Party fora. Let the people's representatives not allow their political differences to thwart the interest of the people.
