Boycott by opposition

The Editor The Hindu Business Line Letters May 25, 2023 New Parliament building Many of the opposition parties have announced their intention to boycott the inauguration of the new Parliament building. This is not surprising as functionally opposition in Indian legislatures are known for frequent walkouts after disruption of the proceedings. Historically we never allowed a proactive or creative opposition to grow in India. Resultantly, though we followed parliamentary system of democracy institutionalising the democratic system from top to bottom, upto local self government level, the opposition took on itself the "mandated" role of opposing government at every level and on every issue. The boycott of the inaugural function of the new Parliament building is symbolic of the inherent urge to oppose the government of the day. Just for a moment, imagine, the Prime Minister decides to jointly inaugurate the new Parliament building along with the President. Then the op

Recall of 2000 rupees notes

Recall of 2000 rupees notes The article "Rs2000 note recall, the right move" (The Hindu Business Line, May 24) is comprehensive in explaining the rationale for the measures taken by GOI and RBI to minimise the abuse of hard currency for purposes for which they are not intended. If any assets including hard currency which can be used as "store of value" are used by citizens for speculation or creating imbalance in the economy or financial system, lawmakers and regulators are dutybound to intervene and take corrective action. While there was some inadequacies in planning and execution of the massive demonetisation exercise of 2016-17, RBI has handled with care the withdrawal of pre-2005 currency notes. There's no reason to doubt that the gradual replacement of two thousand rupees notes introduced as a need-based interim measure in 2016 will have any roadblocks as these notes today form only a small percentage of currency in circulation.

Media Response : Protect professionals

May 17, 2023 Protect professionals After the tragic incident which resulted in the gruesome murder of Dr Vandana Das, I have been keenly following the responses of government and the media interactions on the genuine demands of doctors for security at workplace. Reports of attacks on medical staff in the past and even after this incident points to the need for immediate corrective measures. It seems security of all hospital staff as a scientific discipline is not in practice. Doctors and nurses particularly, work coping with the huge rush of patients and bystanders. Organising foolproof security in all the hospitals may not be achievable. In this scenario doctors on their own (may be through their Associations like IMA) have to formulate systems for themselves, even creating hospital-specific special funds which could be augmented by government/public contributions, to supply to all doctors on duty, equipments such as panic button alarms with connectivity to police and sec
