Misuse of public money

Sir, - For the last more than ten days, the people, particularly in Kerala, are helplessly watching the callous misuse of public money in the State Assembly. On a daily basis, the Opposition MLAs move into the well of the House and shout slogans completely disrupting the proceedings. Perhaps the phenomenon is nothing new to our State Assemblies and Parliament. In August last, the Lok Sabha witnessed the same cruel game. An all-party meeting convened by the Speaker decided to penalise members for such behaviour with automatic suspension and cut in daily allowance. The House proceedings were conducted in perfect order from the next day. I request the Kerala Assembly Speaker and leaders of political parties to follow the example of the Lok Sabha.

P.R.V. Raja,

Pandalam, Kerala
