Congress: Opposition parties acting irresponsibly in Parliament

Irresponsibility of the opposition is reaching alarming heights. Any party can move a motion it chooses. That is welcome. But when there is a ruling by the Chair about a particular rule under which a motion is sought to be admitted, that ruling of the Chair is final and binding on all parts of the House. Once a Chair gives a ruling, how any party can in perpetuity disrupt proceedings merely because they disagree with that ruling. There are a number of consequences of this principle. It means that any political party has a Veto power in respect of any decision making by the Chair. It means that any political party can disrupt proceedings in a sense black-mail Parliament indefinitely unless and until the ruling is to the liking and choice of that political party and indefinite boycott after a decision in a matter raised by the opposition. This is completely absurd and unsupportable.
