In reply to RTI filed Lok Sabha
secretariat said on June 3, 2009 that there was "no provision either in
the Constitution or the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha
defining duties and responsibilities of members of Parliament or through which
the accountability can be fixed on non-performing MPs".
Is the Indian
Parliamentarians accountable to any one in the country after they are elected
by the people?
Though we
are a democracy and it is defined as for
the people and by the people of the
people, nobody is responsible for this system.
The people’s
representative are not responsible for anyone as they are not held
accountable for any action.They always blame either the opponents or the people
for any mishap or non action.
Having said
that can we ask ourselves whether we as the people for the responsible
democracy are accountable for our action.
When we
don’t vote for elections and still blame the systems for all the
corruption.Being accountable means the ownership of the great action is us.Then
we will not only vote but choose judiciously our representative.
Changing the
nation is one thing but changing self is other!!
When we take action to
grow,change,develop,achieve and we hold others responsible for our action then we
actually deny ourselves a chance to prosper.
If we are
accountable for our growth oriented actions we must realize that this will be
time consuming process,the rewards are not immediately seen and maintaining the
change is all the more difficult.
The belief
must that the change is a process and not a destination.This helps us in
reconciling with outcome which may take time,may be difficult to get at,rewards
may not look up immediately and will not be easy to maintain
Which areas
in our life we are held accountable?
Is this a
self regulation or imposed on us?
What are the
benefits we can draw from being accountable?
Being not accountable for our own actions is like allowing a blind man to drive our vehicle called life.
