Parliamentary system of government is most representative form of government. All the candidates are directly elected by people. With the time this form of government has evolved few loopholes have emerged in it.
When Indian constitution was completed on 26 November 1949 and implemented from 26 January 1950 it was thought that by inclusion of all the good and necessary features we have provided one of the best and certainly it is. But if we perceive Indian political system. We would find that our political representatives have able to manage a selfish safety valve through parliamentary proceedings. There used to be respectful, positive and nationally healthy debate held during early days of independence. But now everything is looked at with negative perspective inside the pious walls of parliament. It is not about any particular government or opposition. But negative attitude started to develop in whole political system as we started to left our moral responsibility behind.
Now it is clearly evident that the objective which Indian constitution had set for an opposition party has lost. An oppostion party is-
---"to question the government of the day and hold them accountable to the public".
---Opposition is also as much responsible in upholding the best interests of the public as ruling government.
---The role of opposition is basically to check the excesses and anti constitutional acts of ruling government so it shall not have absolutely unopposed ride.
In contemporary times what has been the role of opposition is to obstruct and oppose each and every policy and programme of ruling government whether that is good for people and country or not. Every act of ruling government should be tried with one stick.
And it is not about a particular party acting as opposition but each and every party or coalition of parties acting as opposition overlook the good points and acts of ruling government and try to defame and obstruct to put them in bad light in front of public to prove them incompetent hence they got disloged in next general elections.
Effects of this attitude of opposition:
a) Developmental polices get hampered and country derailed from growth track.
b) Puts bad image of country in front of world when to obstruct the proceedings of parliament chaos is created deliberately.
c) Its like a retaliation against public for selecting the particular government and devoid the public from positive results from the ruling govenment.
Opposition should be done but it should be positive opposition which stop and lead ruling government to right path not divert them from right path. It is high time that this constitutional immorality which is hampering the growth of country and polluting the environment of parliament which used to be amicable and cordial in early days after independence should be stopped and our respectable political leaders understand their responsibility keeping aside their personal gains.
