The issue of sanctity of Parliament

About two years ago, respect for the superior institution remained the first issue in national politics. Is the Supreme Institution the Parliament or the Law Interpreting Institute? On the one hand, the voices and amendments from the big house of the Parliament, while on the other hand, the institution interpreting the orders and amendments caused the tension to the political and national environment. There are aftershocks of ‘style’!!

The House whose members were not aware of the supremacy and legislation, today the members of the same parliament are trying to get rid of the heavy responsibility imposed on them. When it comes to the welfare of the nation, honorable members carry the basket of powers and supremacy and consider silence as a booty rather than “worship”. Three days ago, Pakistani fighter Shah Zeib Rand defeated traditional rival India’s Super in the International Karate Competition in Dubai. On the same day, the star fighter Rana Singh won the honor of becoming the karate champion, and on the same day, the opposition in the National Assembly tried to push the atmosphere into a closed lane with “traditional noise”. It is not known who the respected members are trying to please with their behavior. The irresponsibility and irresponsibility of the opposition members in the meeting of the National Assembly on April 29, 2024, has scattered thorns of frustration on the sides if the same meeting is broadcast on national channels. If it were done, people would repent with the “love and devotion” of their public representatives… they would talk about national interest, public welfare and the implementation of legislation later, some important issues would be discussed first. In Salaba budget, 1.5 billion rupees have been allocated for 342 new members of the National Assembly. According to the sources of the National Assembly Secretariat, 411.1 million rupees have been set aside for the salaries of the members of the National Assembly, 130 million as allowance, while the amount of 891 million rupees is for the operational expenses of the National Assembly. There are 25 business class air tickets for each MNA, 3 lakh vouchers, Blue Passport, many concessions on railway and air travel. In addition to this, crores of rupees are paid for each session of the National Assembly. According to a conservative estimate, around Rs. It falls in Rs. After such a huge amount of money, what does the country and the nation get from the meeting? This question remains and will remain until the Awan meets the expectations of the nation!!

In the same House, the Speaker of the National Assembly stopped PTI’s Sher Afzal Marwat from smoking, in the same House, Jamshed Dasti was suspended for playing the Baja and in the same House, a member of the Assembly was harshly called for calling him continuously. A warning has been faced. It is true that the larger House requires greater responsibility and more seriousness. Public welfare is taken as the first priority in the activities of the House all over the world, but we still do not understand the basic philosophy of democracy. See, we are wasting our time and nation’s time and capital with constant noise and protest. Civilized societies think of time as wealth and spend it for building the nation and building the country. What did the nation and the country get from the extraordinary meetings of the National Assembly and the Senate since February 8, 2024? Now Mahmood Khan Achakzai has also read the words that the problems have increased and collective wisdom is needed to get out of them. On April 25, the Anti-Terrorism Court sentenced the founder of PTI, his wife ‘Parvez Elahi’ Ali Nawaz Awan and Other gentlemen were stopped from speaking against state institutions and officials. The honorable court is correct in saying that the statements make a difference to the morale of the security agencies, which does not create a good impression among the public. ‘ would like to suggest that they should also include the training of members in the election reforms so that they would be aware of the sanctity of the House from time to time.
