Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari highlighted the significance of submitting legal cases against the government to uphold discipline in public administration. During the Late Prakash Deshpande Smriti Kushal Sangathak Puraskar event in Nagpur, he stated that society should have individuals who file petitions against the government in court, noting that a judicial ruling can accomplish outcomes that ministers alone cannot achieve. Gadkari mentioned that popular politics can obstruct politicians and ministers from performing their duties effectively. He also commended the individuals recognized as ‘Kushal Sangathak’ for their legal challenges against government policies in education, noting that their efforts contributed to the withdrawal of certain controversial decisions.

During the upcoming Monsoon session, the Lok Sabha will introduce a new attendance system using multimedia devices for its members. MPs will be required to mark their attendance at their assigned seats rather than in the lobby, which can often become crowded. According to official sources cited by PTI, this change aims to save time and address issues where some MPs record their presence but do not actively participate in the proceedings. Congress whip Manickam Tagore has expressed concerns about the new system, describing it as “flawed.” He questioned why Prime Minister Narendra Modi and certain ministers are exempt from signing in, suggesting that the PM should set an example rather than be above the process. Tagore also pointed out that this exemption makes it difficult to determine how many days the PM actually attends Parliament sessions. Besides Modi and some ministers, the Leader of the Opposition is likewise not required to…
