How India’s Govt Is Setting In Place A New Structure For A Dysfunctional Parliament -Prakhar Raghuvanshi

-Article-14.com

The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is increasingly bypassing Parliament through executive fiat by promulgating an average of 11 ordinances a year, almost twice the number under the previous government, which averaged six. Legislative scrutiny is at its lowest point: from 70% of bills referred to committees in the previous Lok Sabha to 11% during the current.

Jodhpur: On 14 November 2021, the President of India promulgated two ordinances, The Central Vigilance Commission (Amendment) Ordinance 2021 and The Delhi Special Police Establishment (Amendment) Ordinance 2021, granting the government the power to extend the term of directors of the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation. 

The opposition has criticised the ordinances on substantive content as well as the use of ordinance procedure two weeks before a session of Parliament, which begins on 29 November. An Article 14 analysis of Parliamentary data reveals rising reliance on executive fiat—which is what an ordinance is—to pass laws, instead of allowing debate in both houses or referring contentious issues to parliamentary committees.

Since 2014, the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi promulgated 82 ordinances, an average of 11 ordinances per year. Its immediate predecessors, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) governments led by Manmohan Singh, promulgated 61 ordinances between 2004-2014, an average of 6.1 ordinances per year, indicating a declining reliance on parliamentary democracy.
