&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Right from the inception of parliamentary democracy in our country, every party has appointed a whip tasked with disciplining the elected representatives. But what about direct command from the voters? Why can&amp;rsquo;t the voters bypass the parties and instruct their representatives on how to conduct themselves in Parliament?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;THE Samyukt Kisan Morcha&amp;rsquo;s decision to issue a &amp;lsquo;voters&amp;rsquo; whip&amp;rsquo; is one more democratic innovation in these dark times when formal democratic institutions and practices are taking a downturn. Democracy is being reclaimed on the streets just when the constitutional democratic apparatus is receding. As they say, creativity thrives in the dark.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The idea behind the voters&amp;rsquo; whip is simple, though powerful. Right from the inception of parliamentary democracy in our country, every party has appointed a whip tasked with disciplining the elected representatives. This role has a legal sanction after the insertion of anti-defection provisions in the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution. Now every party can and does issue a whip to its MPs and MLAs, instructing them to be present on certain days and vote in specified ways. The basic idea is that the voters speak to the MPs and MLAs through the party; hence, they should not be allowed to violate its commands. But what about direct command from the voters? Why can&amp;rsquo;t the voters bypass the parties and instruct their representatives on how to conduct themselves in Parliament?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;That is what the voters&amp;rsquo;whip does. On behalf of the farmers, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha has issued a whip to all the MPs for this Monsoon session that directs them to be present in Parliament for all days, to support the above mentioned demands of farmers&amp;rsquo; movement on the floor of the House, not stage a walk-out and &amp;ldquo;not allow any other business to be transacted in the House till the Union Government accedes to the farmers&amp;rsquo; demands&amp;rdquo;. This voters&amp;rsquo; whip &amp;ldquo;overrides the whip issued by your party&amp;rdquo; and those who defy it face the prospect of farmers&amp;rsquo; boycott.&lt;/p&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;-The Tribune&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Right from the inception of parliamentary democracy in our country, every party has appointed a whip tasked with disciplining the elected representatives. But what about direct command from the voters? Why can&amp;rsquo;t the voters bypass the parties and instruct their representatives on how to conduct themselves in Parliament?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;THE Samyukt Kisan Morcha&amp;rsquo;s decision to issue a &amp;lsquo;voters&amp;rsquo; whip&amp;rsquo; is one more democratic innovation in these dark times when formal democratic institutions and practices are taking a downturn. Democracy is being reclaimed on the streets just when the constitutional democratic apparatus is receding. As they say, creativity thrives in the dark.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The idea behind the voters&amp;rsquo; whip is simple, though powerful. Right from the inception of parliamentary democracy in our country, every party has appointed a whip tasked with disciplining the elected representatives. This role has a legal sanction after the insertion of anti-defection provisions in the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution. Now every party can and does issue a whip to its MPs and MLAs, instructing them to be present on certain days and vote in specified ways. The basic idea is that the voters speak to the MPs and MLAs through the party; hence, they should not be allowed to violate its commands. But what about direct command from the voters? Why can&amp;rsquo;t the voters bypass the parties and instruct their representatives on how to conduct themselves in Parliament?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;That is what the voters&amp;rsquo;whip does. On behalf of the farmers, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha has issued a whip to all the MPs for this Monsoon session that directs them to be present in Parliament for all days, to support the above mentioned demands of farmers&amp;rsquo; movement on the floor of the House, not stage a walk-out and &amp;ldquo;not allow any other business to be transacted in the House till the Union Government accedes to the farmers&amp;rsquo; demands&amp;rdquo;. This voters&amp;rsquo; whip &amp;ldquo;overrides the whip issued by your party&amp;rdquo; and those who defy it face the prospect of farmers&amp;rsquo; boycott.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/comment/reclaiming-democracy-via-voters-whip-286441#.YPlT7h_wPlc.twitter&quot; title=&quot;https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/comment/reclaiming-democracy-via-voters-whip-286441#.YPlT7h_wPlc.twitter&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

Reclaiming democracy via voters’ whip -Yogendra Yadav

-The Tribune Right from the inception of parliamentary democracy in our country, every party has appointed a whip tasked with disciplining the elected representatives. But what about direct command from the voters? Why can’t the voters bypass the parties and instruct their representatives on how to conduct themselves in Parliament? THE Samyukt Kisan Morcha’s decision to issue a ‘voters’ whip’ is one more democratic innovation in these dark times when formal democratic institutions and practices are taking a downturn. Democracy is being reclaimed on the streets just when the constitutional democratic apparatus is receding. As they say, creativity thrives in the dark. The idea behind the voters’ whip is simple, though powerful. Right from the inception of parliamentary democracy in our country, every party has appointed a whip tasked with disciplining the elected representatives. This role has a legal sanction after the insertion of anti-defection provisions in the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution. Now every party can and does issue a whip to its MPs and MLAs, instructing them to be present on certain days and vote in specified ways. The basic idea is that the voters speak to the MPs and MLAs through the party; hence, they should not be allowed to violate its commands. But what about direct command from the voters? Why can’t the voters bypass the parties and instruct their representatives on how to conduct themselves in Parliament? That is what the voters’whip does. On behalf of the farmers, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha has issued a whip to all the MPs for this Monsoon session that directs them to be present in Parliament for all days, to support the above mentioned demands of farmers’ movement on the floor of the House, not stage a walk-out and “not allow any other business to be transacted in the House till the Union Government accedes to the farmers’ demands”. This voters’ whip “overrides the whip issued by your party” and those who defy it face the prospect of farmers’ boycott. Please click here to read more.
