A DISTINGUISHED PERSONALITY

Dr. Manmohan SinghPrime Minister of India and

Leader of the House, Rajya Sabha

Mr. Chairman, Sir, it is my proud privilege and a great honour to felicitate youas you begin your second term as the Vice-President of India and Chairman of thisaugust House. Mr. Chairman, Sir, in you, we have a distinguished personality whohas served the country in diverse fields of diplomacy. In you, we have a person ofgreat distinction who has presided over the Aligarh Muslim University and in all thathas been given to you, you have served our country with great distinction. In thelast five years, we have had the enormous good fortune to proceed on the basis ofguidance that you have provided for the deliberations in this House. That you havebeen chosen for the second term to preside over this august House is a tribute toyour qualities of head and heart. I, therefore, take this opportunity to felicitate youand to assure you that our Government will extend to you the fullest possiblecooperation in smooth functioning of the House and we sincerely hope that yourguidance will be a sovereign influence over the deliberations of this august House.Thank you.

TWO ZERO HOURS

Shri Arun JaitleyLeader of the Opposition, Rajya Sabha

Mr. Chairman, Sir, I join the hon’ble Prime Minister in felicitating you on yourre-election as the Vice-President of the Union. As the Prime Minister pointed out,you had a record of public service before you assumed this office five years ago.Your experience in public diplomacy, your experience as an academic and in otherfields of public service, enabled this country to make a choice to have you to adornthis high office. Your re-election is a re-affirmation of the fact that your presence inthis office adds to the dignity of the office itself. It is a privilege for us to have you asthe Chairperson of this House. This House, as also the Indian Parliament, in itselfis a mahout. It requires both art and science in administering and running thisHouse. You have to make space for Governmental Business; you have to makespace for other expressions of public interest. You can show us the rule book, butyou can also avail the flexibility that the rule book provides to you, so that everykind of opinion finds space in the House itself, rather than leading to a deadlock.When a person with a bureaucratic, diplomatic and academic experience adornsthis office, we had wondered what his accessibility would be. In fact, your strengthhas been your accessibility to the Members. I have seen you function in the lastfive years. In a lighter vein, I can say that there are two Zero Hours; one in theHouse and the other which the Members can avail in your Chamber, because ifsomebody does not get an opportunity to express himself, he has access to yourChamber and can express himself very easily there.

Your experience, as I said, in public diplomacy, even when you adorn thishigh Office, is a great opportunity for this nation to avail of your servicesinternationally. On a personal note, I have always admired your ability to easetensions; besides, I follow and read each one of the speeches that you deliver. Myown inquiries have revealed that you prepare the drafts yourself, and I must confessthat these are, in contemporary times, some of the best recorded documents onvarious subjects that I have come across. It is an honour, once again, to have youas the Chairperson of this House for the next five years, and it is a privilege for thiscountry that you adorn this high office because you add to the dignity of this office.

CUSTODIAN OF DEMOCRACY

Shri Prasanta ChatterjeeCommunist Party of India (Marxist)

Respected Chairman Sir, I, on behalf of my party, the Communist Party ofIndia (Marxist), join the felicitation and congratulate you sincerely on beingre-elected as the Vice-President of India. You have worked in different capacitieshere as well as abroad, and thus, have a wide experience. Furthermore, it is amatter of great pleasure for all of us to have you once again as the Chairman,Rajya Sabha, the House of Elders. Sir, the entire country considers Parliament asa very sacred institution. People, particularly the downtrodden and the poorest ofthe poor, have many expectations from this august House. We, the Members, areduty-bound to raise their problems on the floor to seek a solution.

Sir, even after sixty-five years of independence, the country is facing thousand-and-one problems like poverty, re-employment, unemployment, closure of factories,etc. Black money is ruling the economy. In one word, the people of India are livingin a horrible condition. As I said, earlier, we, the Members of this august House,are duty-bound to raise the issues concerning the people so that we bring abouteffective changes in their socio-economic conditions. I believe, Sir, as the Chairmanof this august House, you will continue to remain the custodian of Indian democracy,you will help people to be heard and you will exert yourself to bring consensusamongst different political parties on the basis of the principle of justice to thepeople. With these words, I once again congratulate you, Sir.

THE SECOND COMING

Shri Derek O’ BrienAll India Trinamool Congress

Sir, I, particularly, would like to congratulate you, and I feel deeply privilegedto do this on behalf of the people of West Bengal and the All India TrinamoolCongress and its Chairperson, Ms. Mamata Banerjee and, beyond that, at a personallevel because it is widely known that you went to a Jesuit Institute in Kolkata, ofwhich I also had the privilege of going to, and, may be, you took your moral scienceclasses there very seriously because moral science in Jesuit institutions taughtyou about the second coming, and you have made that a reality a few days ago.Sir, you have reached a great milestone as you have also become a quiz question.You are the second Vice-President, as is well-known, after Dr. S. Radhakrishnan,to do the honours second time around. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, like you, also had aKolkata connection. You studied in St. Xavier’s, and he was, in the 1920s, a Professorof Philosophy at that same great institution. Sir, we wish you health, we wish youhappiness, and, as we get to know you better, we wish you really well, and I wouldlike to leave you with the thoughts of the great poet who said, and, as we all haveheard this before, ‘‘Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high.”Thank you, Sir, and Good Luck.

TEACHER OF GOOD MANNERS

Shri Tiruchi SivaDravida Munnetra Kazhagam

Mr. Chairman, Sir, it is indeed a privilege and honour for me to felicitate you,on behalf of my party, the DMK, and our leader, Dr. Karunanidhi, on your assumingthe Vice-President’s Office for a second term. Sir, you are a person of high calibreand constructive statesmanship, whom the people hold in high esteem. Youpossess indefatigable industry and your varied visions have impressed us a lot inthe last five years when you were chairing this august House.

Sir, you are a person of intellectual refinement. We have also admired thesubtlety of the distinctions you have drawn. Holding the dignity of this office veryhigh, Sir, you have extended a friendly hand to all the people you have comeacross, even Members and all others. I should say, Sir, we have enjoyed you in theChair. You are always innovative. Your vocabulary has impressed us a lot. Oneday, when a supplementary question extended to a longer time, you immediatelyintervened and said, “Supplementary question opportunity is only a window andnot an elephant gate.” So, that gave a very good definition for ‘supplementaryquestions’.

Sir, as my colleague, Shri Derek, pointed out here, you are only the secondperson, next to Dr. Radhakrishnan, holding the office of Vice-President for thesecond term. You, as well as him, are teachers because we have learnt somegood manners from you without your knowledge. Sir, by way of observing you, wehave inherited some good manners, and when I have practised it outside, it haswon me some credit.

Sir, in the coming years, under your Chairmanship, this august House willwitness many more interesting days. Sir, with these words, once again,I congratulate you wholeheartedly on behalf of my party. This is a very goodopportunity, and I wish that you will tread the path of Dr. Radhakrishnan in allaspects. Thank you very much, Sir.

Some are born great, some achieve greatnessand greatness is thrust on some. In fact, we can count very few people who areborn great in this world. Greatness is thrust on so many people regardless of thefact whether they deserve it or not. But among those who achieve greatness intheir lifetime, you are definitely one among them by your sheer hard work, dedicationand performance. In a lighter vein, I can say from among all Members here,I have the unique distinction of being suspended for a day from this House by you.In your first innings in the last five years, you have introduced very many changesin the working pattern of this House. As you start your second innings, I urge youto consider giving more time and space for the regional parties and the smallergroups. In fact, now so many people are talking about non-Congress, non-BJPdispensation. Please have that in view and give us more attention and time. Thankyou very much.

FIRM AND FAIR

Dr. Ashok S. GangulyNominated

Sir, I thank you for having given me the opportunity to participate in thismemorable day of this House. We are used to be silent spectators most of thetime, but my colleagues and I am deeply honoured that we have been recognisedfor a particularly distinguished and historical function, that is, to congratulate youon your re-election as the Vice-President of India and as the Chairman of thisaugust House. The eulogies, across this great House, reflect what each of us feelproud about. As some hon’ble Members have mentioned that a lot of times therehave been disturbances, disruptions and distress, but you have dealt with firmnessand smile, and over a period of time we have understood the undercurrents offairness that you have spread amongst us, which makes many of us realise thatthese things do not have to be done lightly. I have had the privilege of being knownto you, Sir, even before you became the Vice-President of India; it is a greatpersonal privilege to me. Many of us are greatly appreciated; we have not goneunrecognised. We may not have risen to speak but in our silence, we haveadmired you, we have shared your happiness and your anguish. We will continueto do so. It is a great privilege to be a part of this House. As some hon’ble Memberssaid that this House represents the highest panchayat of this country; therefore, tohave unanimity and agreement would be unusual. However, we are going through avery difficult time in the history of this nation and people look upon this House and,Sir, your leadership to guide the ship through this choppy waters in a mannerwhich brings the greatest relief to the people of this country. We will continue tohold our head high as you lead this august House in the future. God bless you andgood luck.

EXEMPLIFYING THE DIGNITY AND VALUESOF PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY

Shri H.K. DuaNominated

Mr. Chairman, Sir, it has been famously said that India is a land of unity indiversity. That unity and diversity is represented in this House and the Chairman ofthis House symbolizes that unity in diversity, which is present in the House. Asseen during the last two-and-a-half years, you have given chance to every shade ofopinion that is present in the House. If we have not succeeded in availing of thatchance, the fault is ours, not yours. Even when the decibel levels were very high inthe House and there were ruckus, too much noise, walkouts and attempts ofdisruption of the proceedings, you remained calm, quiet and dignified which obviouslyis the source of your inner strength. This essentially comes from the concernabout the dignity of the House and concern of the values that should guideparliamentary democracy in India. All through, you have exemplified the dignityand the values of parliamentary democracy and showed your concern for itsprosperity and growth in the country. Thank you.

SKILLED IN CONFLICT MANAGEMENT

Dr. Barun MukherjiAll India Forward Bloc

Sir, it is my proud privilege to have the opportunity to congratulate you, on mybehalf and on behalf of my party, All India Forward Bloc, on your assuming thisgreat office of the Vice-President of India and Chairman of the House for the secondtime. I think, it has already been referred to by many of my colleagues here thatyou are the second distinguished person, after Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, whohas been elected the Vice-President for the second time. At the same time, I feelthat it may be a strange case of coincidence that Dr. Radhakrishnan came fromthe field of education and you also have a bright background of scholarship andeducation. It is a strange case of coincidence that Dr. Radhakrishnan came fromthe Calcutta University and you came from the Aligarh University and from twoends you joined this august House to carry out another very distinguished role,which, I believe, apart from many other responsibilities, is the role of conflictmanagement. Here, there are various shades of opinion. We come from variouspolitical parties. We try to raise our voice in support of our faith and belief. But youhave the distinguished role of conflict management and you have very gloriouslymanaged the House for five years. Again, you have been entrusted with theresponsibility of managing this House.

At the same time, I must confess very frankly one thing. You have allowed usfree access all the time. I find that it is very difficult to talk to many distinguishedpersons of our society, including some of our distinguished Ministers, even overthe telephone. But you are very liberal to give access to us; you talk to us veryfrankly and freely without any vanity of the high post you are holding. It is a veryrare quality, and I am grateful to you that many a time, you have given me accessto you to express what I felt. So, I congratulate you once again, and I believe, youwill give some rare opportunities in this House, particularly to the smaller parties.Parliament is, more or less, a number game. Those, who have big numbers, havethe bigger say. But Members from smaller parties should also have some say. Ibelieve, you will give a new opportunity to the Members of the smaller parties toexpress their opinions as and when they wish to do so. Once again, I congratulateyou on behalf of myself and my party.

DISCIPLINARIAN WITH PROFOUND FELLOW FEELING

Shri M. Rama JoisBharatiya Janata Party

Respected Vice-President, Sir, I express my respectful congratulations onyour election as the Vice-President of the country for the second term. As alreadypointed out, you have the distinction of being elected for the second term, onlyafter Dr. Radhakrishnan. Sir, we have been seeing you for the last few years; youhave been conducting this House with great dignity and discipline. One mostimportant thing, which comes to my mind, is that two years back in Bangalore, westarted a movement called ‘Raksha Bandhan Movement’. So many festivalsconducted by several religions are confined, but Raksha Bandhan is a movementwhich is related to all. This movement was inaugurated by Justice Shri M. N.Venkatachaliah, former Chief Justice of India, at Bangalore. Two messages weregiven throughout the country. One was for mutual love and protection, and, thesecond was to let Raksha Bandhan be the only religion for all of us. I was very gladto receive several messages including messages from a number of Members ofthis House and the other House. Sir, through your message, you said that thismovement was very good for national reconciliation. Everyone should work to developthe feeling of fraternity, which is of utmost importance. Sir, we have preserved thatletter, and also published and circulated it.

You were so pleased to invite me to accompany you to Burma but,unfortunately, on account of my engagements, I could not join you. At the sametime, I am grateful to you for your offer to accompany you to Burma. In the end, Ican tell that you have got another term to do justice to this House. Sir, you arealways particular about discipline to be maintained in this House, which is ofutmost importance. I wish you an astounding success in your functioning.Thank you.

A WELCOME FROM THE WOMEN MEMBERS

Dr. Najma A. HeptullaBharatiya Janata Party

Sir, from my party, the Leader of the Opposition and the Deputy Leader havealready spoken. I am speaking not only on behalf of my party but I am speakingalso because I found that only gentlemen are welcoming you. It should not go onrecord that the women Members of this House are not appreciating you. We allappreciate you. I greatly appreciate the way you have presided over the Houseduring the last five years because I know it is both a torture and a pleasure to besitting there. When the House is running properly, from my experience, I say it isthe best House. I do not want to say that the lower House is lower in any way, butthe upper House is upper in every way. But when, as a privilege of the Members ofParliament, we shout, we scream – though I didn’t like it when I was there in thatChair – and troop into the well, as one of the hon'ble Members, Mr. Yadav has said,it is our privilege as the Members of the Opposition. But it also does not mean thatwe want any disrespect to you. We want to express our opinion.

Today, whatever everybody has said, I endorse that because I don’t want totake too much time of yours. But I would say one thing. I think it is a privilege to bea major political party. I am sorry for the minor political parties who are asking formore time in the House. But, Sir, it should not mean – we don’t mind sitting longerhours – that our quota is reduced and given to the other smaller parties. I willappreciate all the smaller parties to work hard in the field and get more Members inthe House so that they get more share of the time for speaking. And, Sir, why thereis hardly any woman Member visible to speak today is because we are so few innumber. I hope in this second five-year term of yours in this House, you wouldcompel the hon'ble Prime Minister, or, impel the hon'ble Prime Minister to get the33 per cent reservation so that the next time when you are elected, there will bemore women to speak for you. Thank you.

ENHANCING OPPORTUNITIES TO BACK BENCHERS

Shrimati Naznin FaruqueIndian National Congress

Mr. Chairman, Sir, I am very much overwhelmed; at last; you have allowedme to speak here. It is a very honoured occasion; and being a Member ofParliament from the North-East, Assam, and on behalf of a few lady Membershere, I want to say a few words for you. I am very much a big fan of yours from theday I joined this House. Whatever I have seen in the House, I can say that youhave always been very kind to the lady Members. On this occasion, like Jayaji andNajmaji, I request you that we the back benchers should be allowed to speak inthe House. We are always on the back side; and being a new Member I shouldalso learn something. With these words, I wish you a healthy and very long life.Thank you.

NEED FOR DETAILED DELIBERATIONS TOENSURE GREATER ACCOUNTABILITY

Shri Mohammad Hamid AnsariVice-President of India and

Chairman, Rajya Sabha

Hon’ble Leader of the House and Prime Minister, hon’ble Leader of theOpposition, hon’ble Members of the Council of States of the Parliament of India.By a happy coincidence and five years to date, I stood before you in this augustHouse to be told about its uniqueness as a Chamber of Elders and Chamber ofStates in our Republic. It has been my privilege to witness both aspects of thisfunctioning in good measure. The honour bestowed on me of being called upon bythe sovereign will of the Members of Parliament to shoulder this responsibility asecond time, is doubly humbling. I accept it in all humility and shall endeavour tolive up to your expectations to the fullest extent possible.

Hon’ble Members, in our Union of States, the Rajya Sabha has beenentrusted by the Constitution with legislative and deliberative responsibilities. Bothunavoidably also relate to public concerns in an era of rapidly changing expectationspertaining to good governance, probity in all aspects of public life, justice, inclusivegrowth, societal cohesion and social peace. The transition in public mood frompassive receptivity to active quest in qualitative and quantitative terms is real andurgent. Our responses consequently have to encapsulate these emerging trendsin public perceptions. This would necessitate closer and longer deliberations toensure greater accountability on the one hand and on the other hand a sharperawareness of changing requirements in legislation. This House can and must attendto both meaningfully. Some little steps in this direction have been taken. We should,together, explore the possibility of more through procedural adjustments.

The Parliament is the highest forum of democracy. Time has produced adeepening of the democratic process. It has also opened up numerous points ofdissent. The latter necessitates democratic accommodation. Such accommodationand adjustment is produced through a focused discussion which must remain thecreed and dharma of this House. Democratic practice allows room for discussionas well as agitation. Neither however should intrude upon the spaceearmarked for the other.

Allow me to recall once again the words of our first Vice-President, Dr. SarvepalliRadhakrishnan, of revered memory, and I quote: “A democracy is distinguished bythe protection it gives to minorities. A democracy is likely to degenerate into

33

S 4 \ E \296RS (TEXT).P65

tyranny if it does not allow the opposition groups to criticise, fairly, freely andfrankly the policies of the Government. At the same time, the minorities also havetheir responsibilities. While they have every right to criticise, the right of criticismshould not degenerate into wilful hampering and obstruction of the work of Parliament.All groups, therefore, have their rights and their responsibilities.”

I do venture to hope that all sections of the House would seek to achieve thislaudable objective. The manner in which we attend to our business is watched bythe citizen body with a discerning eye. I thank you profusely for the warmth of yourwelcome. Jai Hind.
