On Saturday in Gandhinagar, two days Conference of 78th All India Speakers concluded. It was attended by 29 state assembly speakers and 26 deputy speakers.
While speaking at the concluding session it was proposed that in a year big states should be held for a minimum of 60 sittings and in case of small state it should be held with a minimum of 30 sittings. People are asking me why the Lok Sabha is not functioning. If forced disruptions happen frequently, it is but natural that public perception towards the legislature would change,” Mahajan said.
“The conduct of the legislators must be such as to strengthen the public faith in the efficacy of our deliberative institutions.
“It was suggested that the rules of the Assemblies and Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha should be relooked for efficient functioning….It was also suggested that a day’s salary of members who disrupt the house should be cut,” Mahajan said.
