In a thriving democracy, robust parliamentary debates are linchpins that mold policies, tackle challenges, and safeguard the nation’s welfare. Yet, the essence of these debates often gets overshadowed by political theatrics. Rather than substantive discourse, some prioritize populist rhetoric and emotive appeals to court public favor. Amidst a recent no-trust debate, the initial speaker, while addressing the Manipur issue, veered into praising the PM and critiquing the Gandhi family and past administrations. For democracy to flourish, meaningful debates must transcend political showmanship and genuinely contribute to the nation’s growth.
