Disruptions in legislatures can come down if voters hold their elected representatives accountable for their behaviour in the House, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said on Monday.
Delivering the inaugural address at the ninth Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) India region conference, Mr. Birla made a strong pitch for using digital technology so that citizens get access to the functioning of the legislative bodies and could see the participation of their elected representatives.
He said information provided in various legislatures should be exhaustive and comprehensive and informed that work on a common platform — One Nation One Legislative platform — was under way to put every issue raised in an Assembly or Parliament, every debate, every question was posted online.
