Ice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar said expression and dialogue must go hand in hand for any democratic nation to succeed. "Expression and dialogue define democracy. How democratic a nation is defined by the state of expression of its individuals and organisations. For any democracy to succeed, expression and dialogue must go hand in hand with great responsibility on both sides," Dhankhar said while addressing the awardees of the Chaudhary Charan Singh Awards 2024 here on Sunday.
He called for accountability among parliamentarians. "It is time for every thinking Indian to reflect deeply and hold those with obligations accountable, especially parliamentarians. In the last quarter of the century of our independence and adoption of the Indian Constitution, the kind of spectacle witnessed should be a cause of concern. Yet, there seems to be no concern. People have learned to take disorder as an order. There is no sense of revulsion," the Vice-President said.
