Parliament Today a Pale Shadow of What it Used to Be, Executive No Longer Accountable to It

In this episode of Central Hall, Kapil Sibal speaks to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Manoj Jha, Communist Party of India (Marxist) MP John Brittas and former Congress MP Manish Tewari about the functioning of parliament during the prime ministership of Narendra Modi.

The PM rarely attends or speaks, and has not answered a single question. The Opposition has no space to raise issues which the government finds embarrassing, and it is routine for even MPs’ questions to be disallowed on frivolous grounds.
