There is consensus among all that implementation of the reports is in the interest of House to maintain the dignity of the House. The question is whether we conduct properly or not. I want to say something which is other than the recommendations of the said committee. We the MPs are allocated quarters to live therein but we let out one of its portion and also allow unsocial elements to stay in it. We sell coupons meant for allotment of telephone connections.
Telephone bills running into lakhs of rupees belonging to MPs remain in arrears.
Those people can bear the expenses of cellular phones who are earning more but those can not bear the expenses who are earning less. In this way we are inviting black money. Our conduct should reflect the intentions, needs and desires of the poor people of the country. Members of Parliament should use the Metadors and air-conditioned vehicles economically. We should avoid smoking in the Parliament House complex.
