Democracy demands that we listen to and respect differing perceptions, even when we disagree with our political opponents. It is only through such democratic confrontation of ideas that we can arrive at a consensus and a proper perspective. As Henry Robert, the chronicler of the US Congress rules wrote: 'Parliamentary law is the best method yet devised to enable assemblies,.
As you all know, the Presiding Officer is the custodian of the rights and privileges of the members. The Chair endeavours to transact the business of the House through the rules of procedure, established conventions, traditions, etc. The Chair represents the dignity of the House and that being so, it is imperative that members show utmost respect to the Presiding Officer. If the Legislature has to transact business in a smooth and efficient manner, the Chair needs unstinted cooperation from all sections of the House.
On a different plane, in addition to the business of the House, legislators get ample opportunities to participate effectively in the Committees. The Committee work offers scope for positive and meaningful contribution to an industrious member. The role of Committees is as important from the viewpoint of surveillance, as for the involvement it provides for the individual legislator. Membership of the Committees calls for some degree of specialisation among members in areas of interest to them.
In particular, the Financial Committees and the Departmentally Related Standing Committees help them develop expertise and proficiency in the techniques of inquiry into the complex working of the Government Departments. Friends, members of Parliament and State Legislatures should work towards the accomplishment of a common democratic goal, which is a decent and dignified life for our people.
The elected representatives are the trustees of the sovereign will of the people. By their actions and endeavours, they should prove that they are worthy of the trust which the people have reposed in them. As such, you should utilise the precious time of the Legislature by being constructive and meaningful in your approach towards issues that affect the lot of the common masses. I am confident that all of you are fully conscious of your responsibilities and are equally equipped and geared to meet the challenges before you.
