Why is the issue of fewer sittings of legislative bodies a matter of concern, as expressed by Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla
Lok Sabha speaker raises alarm over the decline in the number of sessions held by legislative bodies.
- Reduced sittings of legislative bodies impact the functioning of democracy as it limits the opportunity for discussions, debates, and scrutiny of proposed legislation.
- It hampers the accountability of the government as fewer sessions mean less time for members to question and hold the government accountable for its actions.
- Less frequent sessions may lead to a rush in passing bills without thorough examination, compromising the quality of legislation.
- Diminished sittings affect the representation of various voices and concerns of the citizens, reducing the effectiveness of the legislative process.
- Overall, the decline in the number of legislative sessions threatens the core principles of transparency, democracy, and effective governance.
