Tharoor Urges Opposition to Use Parliament More Effectively
Shashi Tharoor, a member of the Indian Congress party, said that Parliament is a very important place for people to talk about problems and ask questions.
He is sad that the government and the opposition are not talking much.
He thinks that if laws are made without talking about them, judges will have a hard time understanding why they were made.
He wants the government to listen more and to have more discussions.
He also said that the opposition should always speak up, even if the government can pass a law on its own.
He hopes that better talking will stop fights and make Parliament work better.
Shashi Tharoor urged the opposition to use Parliament more effectively.
He criticized the lack of debate and engagement between the government and opposition.
Tharoor warned that bills passed without debate hinder judicial interpretation.
He cited a judge’s remark questioning how courts can consider arguments without parliamentary debate.
Tharoor called for greater communication to prevent disruptions and improve parliamentary functioning.
