Vice President of India M Venkaiah Naidu on Wednesday said Assemblies and Parliament are meant for debate, discussion and decision, and not disruptions.

Referring to the ugly scenes witnessed in the Rajya Sabha recently and indicating action against those involved, he reminded elected representatives of their responsibilities.

“….all elected public representatives should focus more on improving the standards of the life of the people, by rising to the need of the occasion,” Naidu said.

Addressing an event here, he said, “You might have seen some time back, what happened in the Parliament, a lot of youngsters called me and told me, Sir! you are the Vice President of India, why are you so sad? I said I’m sad because of the bad behaviour of some people, to the new low the Indian Parliament had gone.

Pointing to similar incidents at several state legislatures including Karnataka in the past, he further said, every legislator and public representative should keep in mind the need to raise the standards of the institution he or she is representing, and improve one’s contribution by caliber, character, capacity and conduct.

You are the role model for the people, if you behave like this then what is the inspiration the people and the youngsters will get?”

“Assemblies and parliament are meant for debate, discussion and decision. Debate, discuss and decide, but do not disrupt. Disrupting means you are disrupting the cause of the country. There may be some tension, but you must come back to attention,” he added.
