President Pranab Mukherjee said on Sunday that enacting laws without discussion impact the law-making role of the Parliament.
“It breaches the trust reposed in it (Parliament) by the people. This is neither good for the democracy nor for the policies relating to those laws,” said Mukherjee in his address to the nation on the eve of Republic Day.
The President’s comments come after the NDA Government has cleared 11 ordinances since coming to power in May 2014.
“The legislature reflects the will of the people. It calls for reconciling the differences amongst stakeholders and building a consensus for the law to be enacted,” Mukherjee added.
Meanwhile, on the economy Mukherjee said that the key economic indicators provide for much optimism. He added that achieving five per cent plus growth rates in the first two quarters of 2014-15 is a healthy sign for an early reversion to the high growth trajectory of 7-8 per cent.
