NEW DELHI: Vice-president Jagdeep Dhankhar on Sunday reiterated that democracy is all about dialogue, discussion, deliberation and debate while labelling disruption and disturbance as antithetical to democratic values. He also expressed his pain and concern over the fact that disturbance has been weaponised in the temples of democracy that should be functional 24x7 to ensure justice to the people at large.
Addressing the centenary year convocation of Jamia Millia Islamia University (JMIU) at Vigyan Bhawan, he called upon everyone to act to preserve and sustain the essence of democratic values. He underlined that there can be no alibi for not making Parliament functional every second.
