democratic institutions and there honesty is most important pillar of democracy discuss
Answers
With 3 pillars of democracy falling apart, it’s time to read the Constitution once again:-
Sixty-nine years is a long enough time to take a step back and assess whether a plan has worked or not. Today, 69 years after the Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution on 26 November 1949, it is time that we, the people of India, make an impartial assessment of what the framers of India’s Constitution achieved.
More importantly, it is time to also ask if the three pillars – legislature, executive and judiciary – under the Constitution have held their own, worked as B.R. Ambedkar and the other wise men and women of the Constituent Assembly would have wanted them to. They wanted them to work cohesively, but they also wanted each of these three wings to function independently, with clearly defined separation of powers.
Legislature:-
The most important, although not the most powerful, wing under the Constitution has unfortunately degenerated into an arena where politicians work more to safeguard the interests of their parties than for those who elect them. Debate, the oxygen of any functioning democratic institution, is something that we seldom witness in our Parliament and the state legislatures. Instead, we have monologues guided mostly by the party and, sometimes, personal line.
Lawmaking has taken a back seat and MPs don’t show much interest in knowing how a law would affect us.
Our parliamentary standing committees also work on party lines, with their reports seldom taken seriously even by the department attached to them. The important issue of conflict of interest – MPs with financial interests often continue to remain members of standing committees whose reports can have a bearing on their business – is not even debated now. We seem to have simply given up.
Judiciary-
This was the pillar that was supposed to be the strongest. But what we instead have are judges, often trying to self-promote through their spoken words than written judgments, or coming under the stranglehold of the government, or trying to take over the role not assigned to them under the Constitution.
Almost 12 years after it delivered a slew of guidelines to improve the functioning of the police system, the Supreme Court hasn’t bothered to ensure implementation of several of those guidelines.
Our judges seem to have all the time in the world to weigh in on the issues that are best left to either the legislature or the executive, but not for upholding the rights of the citizens.
An example: When CBI director Alok Verma approached the Supreme Court, all he wanted was that the court should decide the legality of the Narendra Modi government’s decision to withdraw all powers from him. Instead, the court has done everything but adjudicate on this limited point.
When it comes to corruption within the judiciary, we are witnessing a lack of transparency in its functioning and a growing tendency of the courts to function like a secret society.
