VP Dhankhar said that the cure for this โdiseaseโ is discipline and โworking according to the Constitutionโ.
โThe Parliamentary dignity which was maintained during the 1960s, if we study it, we will come to know that there is nothing such today. It is the responsibility of the citizens to stop this disease. The cure of this disease is very easy is that we have to be disciplined and should remain within the limits of law and work according to the Constitution,โ he said.
โOur democracy is cliffhanging. It is cliffhanging on account of the actions of those who should be saviours of democracy. There is a need for the political parties to come to a common platform on this extremely important issue,โ Dhankhar added.
