On the one side, the Congress is saying that it respects the judiciary. And, on the other, it considers court cases, even those filed by private citizens, against its chief office-bearers as being political vendetta.
Congress leaders who have been named in the case, instead of approaching the Supreme Court after a failure at the High Court, are misusing their party platform to stall Parliament and take the matter to the streets.
Nothing will improve unless stricter rules are framed for Parliament so that parliamentarians with unruly behaviour can be prevented from attending proceedings. Currently, the matter is left to the discretion of
parliamentary committees.
The best option is to abolish parliamentary immunity and bring all activities of parliamentarians inside the House under the courts’ purview. Public money must not be wasted on unnecessary disruptions in Parliament.
