New Delhi: <\/strong>Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar today expressed concern over the declining standards of decorum and discipline in Parliamentary discourse.<\/p>\n Addressing the Constitution Day in \u2018Samvidhan Sadan\u2019 today, he said, \u201cIn contemporaneous times, with decorum and discipline cliff-hanging in parliamentary discourse, this day we need to resolve by reiterating pristine glory of our Constituent Assembly embellished functioning. Disturbance as a strategy threatens democratic institutions. Time to restore the sanctity of our democratic temples through constructive dialogue, debate, and meaningful discussion to serve our people effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis masterpiece is a tribute to the profound foresight and unwavering dedication of the founding fathers of our Constitution who in about three years shaped our nation\u2019s destiny, exemplifying decorum and dedication, navigating contentious and divisive issues with a focus on consensus and understanding\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n Stressing the role of division of power among the organs of the state and the need for a structured mechanism to resolve issues among them, Shri Dhankhar said,\u00a0\u201c\u00a0<\/strong>Our Constitution ingeniously establishes democracy\u2019s three pillars\u2014the Legislature, the Executive, and the Judiciary\u2014each with a defined role. Democracy is best nurtured with its constitutional institutions being in sync, tandem and togetherness adhering to their jurisdictional area. In the functioning of these organs of the state, domain exclusivity is the quintessence to making optimal contributions in steering Bharat toward unprecedented heights of prosperity and equity. Evolution of a structured interactive mechanism amongst those at the helm of these institutions would bring greater convergence in serving the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n Referring to the opening words of the Constitution- \u201cWe the people of India\u201d underlining the sovereignty of the people, he added \u201c The Constitution\u2019s opening words, \u2018We the People of India\u2019, carry deep meaning, establishing citizens as the ultimate authority, with Parliament serving as their voice\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cPreamble promises every citizen \u2013 Justice, Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. It is our \u201cNorth Star\u201d when it comes to fructifying people\u2019s aspirations and \u201cLight House\u201d in daunting situations\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n Emphasising adherence to fundamental duties he said, \u201cOur Constitution assures Fundamental Rights and ordains Fundamental duties. These define informed citizenship, reflecting Dr Ambedkar\u2019s caution that internal conflicts, more than external threats, endanger democracy. Time for us to fully commit to our fundamental duties\u2014protecting national sovereignty, fostering unity, prioritizing national interests, and safeguarding our environment. We must always put our nation first. We need to be on guard as never before. These commitments are crucial for achieving our vision of \u0935\u093f\u0915\u0938\u093f\u0924 \u092d\u093e\u0930\u0924@2047: a nation that exemplifies progress and inclusion\u201d.<\/p>\n Stressing on the duties of the members of parliament, he said, \u201cAll citizens, particularly Members of Parliament, must amplify our nation\u2019s resonance on the world stage. May this honoured chamber resonate with democratic wisdom, maintaining the bond between citizens and their elected representatives.\u201d<\/p>\n Recalling the dark period of emergency, Shri Dhankhar said, \u201c As guardians of democracy, we bear the sacred duty to honour our citizens\u2019 rights aspirations and ceaselessly pursue their dreams, by making optimal contributions inspired by national welfare and public interest. It is for this reason that June 25 is now set to be celebrated every year reminding us of the emergency-the darkest period when fundamental rights of the citizens were suspended, people were detained without any reason, and civil rights were violated.\u201d<\/p>\n Emphasizing the need to place the nation first, quoting Dr B R Ambedkar, Shri Dhankhar said, \u201cI seek to refer, in conclusion, Dr Ambedkar\u2019s reflections in his last address in the Constituent Assembly on November 25, 1949: \u201cWhat perturbs me greatly is the fact that not only India has once before lost her independence, but she lost it by the infidelity and treachery of some of her own people. Will history repeat itself?<\/p>\n \u201cIt is this thought which fills me with anxiety. This anxiety is deepened by the realization of the fact that in addition to our old enemies in the form of castes and creeds, we are going to have many political parties with diverse and opposing political creeds. Will Indians place the country above their creed or will they place creed above country? \u201d<\/p>\n Dr. Ambedkar further exhorts,<\/p>\n \u201cI do not know. But this much is certain if the parties place creed above country, our independence will be put in jeopardy a second time and probably be lost forever. This eventuality we must all resolutely guard against. We must be determined to defend our independence with the last drop of our blood.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n [ad_2] [ad_1] New Delhi: Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar today expressed concern over the declining standards of decorum and discipline in Parliamentary discourse.
