Doing Away With Winter Session Of Parliament Is A Fraud On The Constitution!

Live Law  

The present Indian government is a regime of seemingly infinite paradoxes. Now, government's decision to scrap the winter session of Parliament in the guise of the Covid-19 pandemic once again exhibits difference between precept and practice. The government fears that the opposition parties might raise farmer's issue loudly in Parliament's winter session along with issues like decomposing economy, mishandling of Covid-19 pandemic, vaccination plan, deteriorating Centre-State relations, misuse of CBI by the centre etc. Opposition in winter session may also create an adverse public opinion against the ruling party which is crazy to win the forthcoming Assembly elections in some states particularly in West Bengal where many of its stalwarts are working day and night to ensure the victory. Scrapping the Question Hour in Monsoon Session and now scrapping entire winter session are not only against the spirit of the Parliamentary democracy but also beyond the powers of the executive and therefore unconstitutional.
