MPs' behaviour

Sir, — Parliament, the temple of democracy, seems to have become just a playground for MPs. How many times have we heard Opposition members cry out for the resignation of Ministers?

Whatever the issue a Minister is asked to resign, even if he or she has nothing to do with it. Members at times appear not to understand the sanctity and nobility of Indian democracy and trivialise issues.

Sir, — Most of the time, it is sad to see the Speaker, Somnath Chatterjee, struggling to control the MPs. The MPs should give some respect to Somnathji at least for his age, have concern for his health and behave themselves.
