The role of individual MPs (Members of Parliament) has diminished over the years and as a result healthy constructive debates on policy issues are not usually witnessed. How far can this be attributed to the anti-defection law which was legislated but with a different intention?
हिन्दी
कुछ वर्षों से सांसदों की व्यक्तिगत भूमिका में कमी आई है जिसके फलस्वरूप नीतिगत मामलों में स्वस्थ रचनात्मक बहस प्रायः देखने को नहीं मिलती। दल परिवर्तन विरोधी कानून, जो भिन्न उद्देश्य से बनाया गया था, को कहाँ तक इसके लिए उत्तरदायी माना जा सकता है?
