YOUTH PARLIAMENT

Parth Gargava (2nd Year)

The second youth parliament of JIIT 128 got mixed reactions from the executive board, MPs andthe national press. On one side it was full of entertainment, and looked primarily like a face offbetween the MP of Vidisha and the MP of Solapur, and on the other hand, the council seemedfull of uninterested netas, except a few, not knowing what to do, and discussing topics far awayfrom the agenda given in hand (talk about being part of the Indian parliament!).

The debate was started by the MP of Solapur, and the council then quickly gained momentum discussing on nuclear development and policies ‘which were never discussed’.

the government should be ‘of the people, by the people and for the people’,

which was the only piece of entertainment for tabal chees, who had no other job, but to bangtheir chairs to death.

While some parliamentarians were busy getting there photographs clicked, most preferred tostay quiet and chit chat with their neighbors, which created a din (and thus, annoyed thespeaker even more).

An interesting conversation took place between the respected Speaker and the MP of saran,where the MP repeatedly asked for a plea to get his question against the UPA gets answered. Alot of ruckus was made, resulting in the speaker telling the MP to ‘not waste more time on this.’

The MP of Solapur talked about envisaging India as a super-power in 2030 and the need fornuclear development. (Ma’am, pehle itne ghotalon ki baat toh niptalo, fir jaake kuch super-power ka sochna). this was sharply followed by the MP of Vidisha putting forward a rhetoric byasking if nuclear reactors are actually how a country becomes a super-power! (Smart of you,Vidisha!)

In the middle of the session, the MP from Alathur, woke up to propose a motion on ‘aadhar’ or‘UID’. Sir, all I can say is, you truly belong to the Indian parliament, no clue of where you are andwhat you are speaking. Amidst all the chaos,was a massive walk out by the 3rdfront whohad allthe valid reasons to leave the council (like check out the café and the chicks (oh sorry, mybad!!), and have a samosa).

At the end of the day, it was the executive board members who badly needed samosas (with dispirins) for the intolerable head-aches each one of them had!One funny instance was the delegate of Amritsar who spoke for the first time to raise a point ofpersonal privilege and fetch some water in the middle of a very heated argument, which brokethe council into a burst of laughter, while his fellow member of parliament (Rampur) wassending all kinds of Batman symbols through chits (you-know-who!).

Last, but not the least, the press concluded that the parliamentarians had a good dressing sense(except a few disasters, like the Vice chairs who did not care to change the college uniform),most MPs were smartly dressed

In case you feel offended by anything, we really don’t give a damn! But we still sincerely apologize. Any kind of complaints or feedback will be entertained at http://www/abey-chal.com. Waiting for your valuable comments.

WANNA HAVE A SAMOSA?

MPs of Patiala, Aonla and Bijnor seemed confidentenough on the topic, with the MP of Bijnor gettingmassive applauds whenever she spoke. MP fromAonla (NDA) also got great appreciation on herfamous dialogue,

Kuch bola nahi toh kya, kam se kam ,ache kapdetoh pehne!

YOUTH PARLIAMENT

“pehle apne aapko dekhiye, fir hume kahiye”

Wise words from one of the MPs, in the JIIT128 Youth Parliament. Really we must learn a few witty retorts from them.

The youth parliament started on a very sincere and a professional note with many MPs from the Third Front (read unprepared) leaving after half n hour only. However the session was saved by the MPs of UPA and NDA who were prepared with hardboiled facts. Another thing to note is that the MPs of UPA were almost double to that of NDA. (Hard Luck NDA!)

The First Moderated Caucus started with the topic of “Nuclear Power Plants and their contribution to India”, with many MPs giving valid statements and of course unnecessary points of order (not surprised).

The NDA MPs raised valid points by questioning the safety and rehabilitation of the people residing near Power plants, while the UPA MPs stressed about the significant contribution the power plants will make to India’s energy needs. The UPA MPs tried to assure the opposition of the effective safety and security of these plants, but then can you really assure anybody in the parliament?

The UPA MPs were well armed with their arguments, listing the pros of nuclear plants and cons of thermal plants .The MPs from NDA on the other hand also stood their ground and kept questioning the UPA about the economic and safety issues of such plants. Predictably, the discussion turned into a blame game with table banging and terms like 2G scam, coal gate, and Petroleum scam cropping up. Finally the full of wisdom opening words of this article were heard which brought an end to this heated exchange. No wonder The Chair had to remind them twice of the topic.

The Second and the Third Moderated Caucus were as eventful with as much chaos and confusion. The ‘point of order's were being thrown by the rupee, whose value incidentally is decreasing by the second .But I guess the MPs have much more important witticisms to share than discuss these petty issues.

However at the end of the day, this session would be called a Success as evidence based arguments were put up and thoughtful questions were asked. Of course, theproceedings, to put it delicately, were questionable .But what is Indian parliament without a few goof ups and one on one exchanges. The session ended with the aptly titled Press awards and the competitive awards being awarded. Few of the MPs were good; most of them were okay, while some of them didn’t even try. I wish all of them, best of luck for all future endeavors.

very interesting conversation

2. The most embarrassing moment in Today’s session ?

Hon’bleChair :After a long thought (very disappointedly) said when a MP raised the motion to discuss on “Negative impacts of

ADHAAR CARD “ which was irrelevant and was not at all concerned with the agenda.

Deputy Speaker 1:He instantaneously said “ when I pronounced the word placard wrong”.1

Deputy Speaker 2:She couldn’t recall so she skipped the question and then later she answered that “omg!! putting the issue like

ADHAAR CARD was the worse”.

General Secretary: He pointed that he was embarrassed by seeing the unpreparedness and unidirectional efforts of the most

MPs.

MP of Vidhisha :He ( emphasizing) said when Chair did not accepted his proof and went by the speculations of MP of Solapur .

3. How would you rate this year YP 2012 as compared to YP 2011 ?and share with us one thing which you found better than the

last one ?

Hon’bleChair :(very spontaneousy) Last year’s YP was definitely better as this time the MPs were not well prepared and well

researched . When he was asked the better thing : ( with a laugh) NO COMMENTS.

Deputy Speaker: He said it was a better show last year as the quality of debate was better and was disappointed by this year’s YP

since the MPs were unprepared. He appreciated the MPs are well dressed,specially Indian Ethical wear.

Deputy Speaker 2:She said “ it was not even half the same , enthusiasm was there but it lacked the quality and dedication

And she was pretty impressed by the dressing sense of the MPs.

General Secretary :(very sadly ) he said it was worse than last year and rated YP 2012 as 3 on the scale of 10.Ah! Seriously, the

turnout was better than last year.

MP of Vidhisha :Ya ( obviously) last year was better.

chilling and bhaobhao (GS laughed supportingly )!!!

MP of Vidhisha :“Ohh!The law which doesnot allow abusing other ministers”!

6. As Prime Minister said in her speech “ Nuclear power plants donot emit greenhouse gases “ and it was objected by the minister

of Vidhisha . What is your opinion the Prime Minister of the nation doesnot even know the facts ??

Hon’ble Chair :(highly disappointed) He said the things should be well-prepared , researched from valid govt. reports and pointed

that if one MP was raising one topic other MPs were blank on that so the quality debate lacked.

Deputy Speaker:He said PM was not well prepared and raised vague issues.

Deputy Speaker:She defended her by saying as “ she was informed last minute and being a first timer these errors can be excused

for her “.

General Secretary :He justified her errors by saying “ she was not supposed to be the PM and as being a first timer she performed

well”

MP of Vidhisha :(Instantaneously ) “ PM is an idiot “ and later requested not to write that and said that this behavior is humiliating

for the country , not worthy to note as govt. should be and will be changed in the coming 2014 elections .
