Delhi: In a surprising turn of events during the ongoing discussion on the Delhi Services bill in the House, a contentious issue emerged as the names of MPs were included in a resolution without their prior consent. The incident has ignited a debate over parliamentary procedures and the respect for individual privilege.
Dr. Sasmit Patra, BJD MP, Raises Concerns
During the deliberations on the Delhi Services bill, BJD MP Dr. Sasmit Patra's name found itself unexpectedly inserted into a resolution proposed by Raghav Chadha. Expressing his dissatisfaction, Dr. Patra highlighted the importance of obtaining prior consent before including an individual's name in any resolution. "Without taking my prior consent, my name can't be put in the resolution," he affirmed, underscoring the significance of upholding parliamentary decorum.
Dr. Patra promptly lodged a formal complaint regarding the unauthorized inclusion of his name. He emphasized that the matter was not just about his own situation but about the principle of privilege that applies to all Members of Parliament. "Obviously, this is a matter of privilege. All of us have filed our respective complaints," he remarked, drawing attention to the collective concern shared by his fellow MPs.
Other MPs Join the Fray
Dr. Patra's grievance resonated with other MPs as well, with many expressing their unease about the procedural misstep. This incident has underscored the need for a clear and transparent process when including an MP's name in any resolution.
This controversy has revealed a broader need for respect of parliamentary norms and etiquette. MPs from various parties have united in their demand for transparency and adherence to established protocols.
Opposition MPs Express Disapproval
The controversy has taken a new turn with reports suggesting that even opposition UPA MPs are not supporting the actions of AAP MP Raghav Chadha. The move to include names in the resolution without prior consent has raised concerns across party lines, reflecting the unanimous sentiment that parliamentary procedures must be upheld with the utmost integrity.
Possible FIR Against Raghav Chadha
In a dramatic twist, it has been reported that a First Information Report (FIR) might be filed against AAP MP Raghav Chadha for his role in the incident that unfolded in the Rajya Sabha. This development further underscores the seriousness of the issue and the determination to address any breaches of parliamentary decorum.
Awaiting House Chairman's Action
As the issue continues to draw attention, all eyes are now on the Chairman of the House to take appropriate action. The expectation is that the Chairman will address this matter promptly, ensuring that parliamentary procedures are upheld and individual privileges respected.
The incident has also prompted discussions about potential reforms that could prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. Experts are calling for a review of the procedures surrounding the inclusion of names in resolutions to prevent any inadvertent or unauthorized actions that could undermine the integrity of parliamentary proceedings.
In the midst of this controversy, MPs remain steadfast in their commitment to upholding the principles of parliamentary democracy and ensuring that the proceedings remain respectful, fair, and transparent.
The unauthorized inclusion of MPs' names in a resolution during the Delhi Services bill discussion has brought to light the significance of procedural integrity in parliamentary affairs. The incident underscores the need for a more transparent and accountable approach to ensure that parliamentary privileges are upheld. As the House awaits the Chairman's response and potential legal actions, the incident serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility to preserve the sanctity of the parliamentary process.
