Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Sunday asserted that India has “a strong democracy” at the same time as he maintained that “all contributors loved freedom to specific their perspectives within the Lok Sabha”. The Speaker’s session-eve feedback, although made at a global convention in Bahrain, is being observed via many in political circles right here within the context of the continued row involving Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s feedback in the United Kingdom in regards to the state of democracy in India and his lament that Opposition MPs’ mikes have been regularly switched off in Parliament and that many portions of his contemporary speech have been expunged.
Whilst keeping up that “in India we have now a strong participatory democracy and a colourful multi-party device the place hopes and aspirations of electorate to find expression via elected representatives”, Birla mentioned “contributors benefit from the freedom to specific their perspectives and ideas within the Lok Sabha”.
In step with the Lok Sabha secretariat, the Speaker made those feedback whilst taking part within the normal debate throughout the 146th Meeting of Inter-Parliamentary Union at Manama, Bahrain.
He mentioned “Parliament of India has at all times held significant debate on world demanding situations”.
