Parliamentary privileges are fundamental for lawmakers to discharge their duties without undue influence. However, ensuring the responsible exercise of these privileges is crucial for upholding public trust and ensuring the accountability of public institutions.

Necessity of privilege: - to maintain impartiality, and undue influence away from law making - ensuring freedom of speech on floor - preventing public eye on sensitive matters (via secret meetings) - prevent standardizing the house by restricting publication of proceedings - to ensure healthy democracy (prevents civil care arrest, 140 days of house meetings) - for smooth functioning of law making experts

Misuse of privilege: - Causing uproar in the house (case of MP flying slippers in house, slegging cleaning) - Disruptions via protests by legislature - Regent expunctions by speaker (to maintain discipline) - Issue of escaping arrest while house is in session - Interrupting speeches to not let the speaker finish (Nirvaan Sitharaman vs. Rahul case) [Effect of disruption] - Tarnish sanctity of house - Loss of public trust - Venant of buffoonism by western media - Decline in moral values of legislators (2) EX-VP Venkaiah Naidu's lament: Result of disrupting the worthy of house & RTI lokotha wej

[Suggestions] - Ensuring proper floor time to rear speaker - Making sure no sloganathritis is done by issuing whips - Increase working schedule of the parliament for proper deliberation - Codified ethical code for do's and don'ts in house - Strengthening ethics committee - Proper disqualification of MP in case of expunging - Setting right precedent in looking will clear stage assembly too
