F.I. SEPARATION of POWER as BASIC STRUCTURE. ISSUES of declining ROLE: (1) LEGISLATIVE Productivity has fallen by 36.1% in last sattan and 5.4.1% in Rajya sattan. (2) Recommending & PARLIAMENTARY Committees is down to 25.1% in IHS PPS. (3) Usage of Act 123 & 213 for ordinance is leading to EXECUTIVE legislations ex: TRIBUNAL ordinance. (4) LACK of Appointment of deputy speaker as outlined in Article 93 show that PARLIAMENT convention are impacted. FREQUENT Adjournment, WALK outs are leading to NO DEBATE ex: Wall out in No Confidence debate. (6) It UNDERMINES check on EXECUTIVE ex: Repeal on FARM LAWS. (7) It leads to POWER centralization in EXECUTIVE ex: rising ordinance, Prime minister not attending PARLIAMENT as per Definition. However PARLIAMENT role remains sharp as:
PARLIAMENT role: An collective responsibility [4+5]. INSTRUMENT such as NO CONFIDENCE motion. CALLING ATTENTION: PRIVILEGE motion to counter INDIVIDUAL minister. Standing committee ex: recent Criminal Bill issued to COMMITTEE. Place of discretion within ex: recent DELHI bill [GNDCT]. Strengthen backbone committee. STEPS NEEDED: Public survey on PARDUDUCTIVITY. Comprising sitting calendar. NEUTRALITY of SPEAKER. Public view over mandates on NEWS channel. Hence INDIA is Mother of democracy must SUSTAIN along democratic and Parliamentarian principles.
Conclusion
Since EC in CONSTITUTIONAL body must be strengthened to CATAPULT INDIA from DEMOCRACY & SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIVE Democtacy.
