JAIPUR: Chief Justice N V Ramana on Saturday said strengthening parliamentary democracy demands strengthening the opposition as well, and expressed concern over diminishing space for opposition in legislative bodies with laws being passed without detailed deliberation and political opposition turning into hostility.
In his address to the Rajasthan assembly, Justice Ramana said strong, vibrant and active opposition helps to improve governance and corrects the functioning of the government, and political opposition should not translate into hostility which the country is witnessing now. He said it is the cooperative functioning of the government and the opposition which will lead to a progressive democracy.
