Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar says disruption and disturbance in Parliament cannot be weaponised as political strategy

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar has said that disruption and disturbance in Parliament cannot be weaponised as a political strategy. Addressing the Centenary Year Convocation of Jamia Millia Islamia at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi yesterday, the Vice President said the democracy is about dialogue, discussion, deliberation and debate to secure the public good.
 
He said that there cannot be an alibi for not making Parliament functional every second and for this People of the country are paying a huge price for it. The Vice president said when there is a disruption of Parliament on a particular day, there can't be a question hour and it  is a mechanism to generate accountability and transparency in governance.
 

Mr Dhankhar remark came amid deadlock in the current session of Parliament over the Manipur issue.
