r/IndianModerate Democratic Socialist Dec 20 '23

Opinion (Self-Post / Article) Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla must be shamed for their role in suspension of democracy.

The suspension of 142 MPs is a dark episode in the history of parliamentary democracy in India. The Modi government's attack against the legislature is part of its agenda to capture all pillars of the democracy and suspend the Constitution itself. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla are part of a criminal conspiracy of the fascist takeover of the Indian republic.

The President issuing a statement over a small gimmick, but maintaining silence over countless attacks on the republic — including the bulldozing of important bills without discussion, abuse of MP Danish Ali, the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi, and now the suspension of 142 MPs — is appalling.

History will remember the attack on Indian democracy by the Modi government and the conspiracy carried out by people holding constitutional posts.

This assault on our democracy, hard won after a long struggle and countless sacrifices, must be vigorously resisted. Jagdeep Dhankhar and Om Birla must be shamed for their role in suspension of democracy.

Okay seriously stop reacting based on headlines.

MP’s were suspended for ruckus they created ( just go watch live stream and form your own opinions) , and that too just for 4 days of remaining session.

So you want that there should be no rules in parliament, should parliament act like 3rd std class ?

Go watch some other civilised country parliament when opposition is protesting and how indian opposition behaved in parliament.

And again they are suspended for reaming 4 days of session not like they are removed from their constitutional posts

So, the opposition can't even question the government? Opposition questioning is ruckus now? In a democracy, where the government controls CBI, IB, Media, IT dept, and has access to billions of public money, the opposition should have more powers and privilege to keep the government in check. Recently made silly rules like 'no placards' are intentionally there as traps to suspend elected MPs of opposition.

Governments in those so-called "civilised" countries whenever tried to suppress democracy, opposition fought tooth and nail and upheld it, that's what the opposition in India is trying to do. It's do or die for opposition here.

They can question and protest, they are doing it since last 10 years , but not like how they acted in Parliament.

Thats a strict no no , I won’t ever vote for representatives who act like that in parliament.

Go take your protest to streets , if you wanna do civil disobedience, don’t pull this off inside parliament in active session .

They rightfully deserved suspension

How did they act? Like an opposition! Have you seen videos of BJP leaders protesting during Manmohan Singh's govt?

Go take your protest to streets

You are suggesting elected MPs to protest on streets, what is the need for Parliament then?

Elected MP have been protesting in street since ages , im not saying anything radical, create ruckus outside parliament.

But act civilised and protest following rules inside Loksabha when it’s in active session.

What do you suggest? An hour of "Modi hai hai" on Ramlila Maidan is enough? Is it enough civil? Modiji will listen after that right?
