This morning when I opened a newspaper, an informed mind who has been Finance Minister of this country, a Parliamentarian for long and currently a Member of Rajya Sabha, stunned me when he says – “New laws were drafted by part-timers.”

Are we part-timers in Parliament? This is inexcusable insult to the wisdom of Parliament!

I do not have words strong enough to condemn such a kind of narrative being set afloat. I am shocked beyond words.

Please beware of minds that deliberately float a narrative trying to run down our nation, demean our institutions, and taint our progress. When informed minds knowingly lead you astray, we need to be on guard.

With heavy heart I am sharing with you, the gentleman gave total rest to his vocal chords while the debate was going on in the Parliament on ‘Nyaya Vidhan’.

I appeal to him, please withdraw these derogatory, defamatory and highly insulting observations to the members of the Parliament. I hope he does it.
