Democracy
has its own honour and prestige. By showing the bundle of
Rs 1,000 notes, during the special session of parliament,
some members have only brought the image of the august house
down in the eyes of the world, for the proceedings were keenly
watched over television sets. Of the three BJP members who
entered the parliament with bundle of notes, two-Ashok Argal
and Faggan Singh Kulaste--belong to Madhya Pradesh. In fact
both these leaders do not carry a clean image. Kulaste's name
figures in MPLAD whereas Argal's reputation is also not that
good. Both these leaders had accused the SP leader, Amar Singh
and Revti Raman Singh of supplying them with notes for voting
in favour of UPA during the no trust motion. Only an investigation
will bring forth the truth and the real conspirators. However,
the question arises if the honourable MPs should behave in
this manner in the House. Some months back, during the Rajya
Sabha elections also, SP MLA, Kishore Samrite had reached
the police station with bundle of notes accusing a candidate
for the Rajya Sabha election, Vivek Tankha for voting in his
favour. A probe in this case is also pending. Being the people's
representatives the members' should keep their image clean.
Today's electorate is wise and will teach the erring MPs lessons
at the time of elections. Such matters are very serious and
need proper resolutions lest the institution of democracy
be defamed.
