Opinion - Letters to the Editor   

Expensive coverage

Sir, — Before every Parliament session, the Lok Sabha Speaker gets the leaders of various political parties together. After the meeting, he declares that they have agreed not to disrupt the House proceedings. Yet when the session begins, some issue or the other crops up for the ruling party and the Opposition to go at each other's throat and the result is the disruption of Parliament.

I wonder why the proceedings should be telecast live, given the huge cost involved. I would rather watch a cricket series between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.

S. Jagadish,
