NEW DELHI: Expressing anguish over the “sinister effort” with “pernicious motivation” by some to taint institutions, vice-president Jagdeep Dhankhar on Sunday warned that if parliamentary system is plagued by disruption, that space will be get occupied by forces that are not accountable to the Constitution.
Speaking at the valedictory ceremony of the two-day Festival of Libraries 2023 organised by the Union culture ministry in the national capital, the VP noted that Parliament is also the temple where debate, discussion and dialogue have to take place. He said no one expects Parliament to be engaged in disturbance. People want their representatives to function in national interest and he is working in that direction.
