New Delhi: RajyaSabha Chairman Mohammed Hamid Ansari, who has demitted office today, has said the House is a creation of the Constitution and reflective of the wisdom and foresight of the founding fathers, who wished it to portray India’s diversity and wished there to be calibrated restraint on hasty legislation.
It has upheld the democracy’s sacred creed that discussion, instead of being a stumbling in the way of action, is in fact an indispensable preliminary to wise action. In reply to farewell felicitations by members, Mr Ansari said deviations from this golden rule contribute neither to diligent policy making nor to the claim to be mature democracy based on Rule of Law.
