AAP Party’s Raises Eye Brows Over Demand of Extra Privileges for Members Of Indian Parliament
Parliamentary group leader Dr Dharamvir Gandhi Along with three colleague MPs from Punjab [1] Shri Harjinder Singh Khalsa (Fatehgarh Sahib),[2] Shri Sadhu Singh (Faridkot) [3]Shri Bhagwant Mann (Sangrur),i, condemned the recent claims and demands made by some Members of Parliament to get more special rights and privileges to themselves like free parking, usage of private lounges at airports, protocol officers, escort service at airports and other special courtesies.
Dr Dharamvir Gandhi says that MPs are also Aam Aadmis [General People]and Any extra cost to the government exchequer at the cost of taxpayers to provide special facilities should be opposed.
· Demand for VIP parking+ exclusive use of airport lounges + other special courtesies is unjustified.
Aap Party Says that The Indian Parliament represents the interests+ hopes+ ambitions +dreams of the people .Citizens vest their moral and political authority in the Parliamentarians of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha[Upper House]
. The Aam Aadmi Party believes that, while this present allocation, is necessary for fast and efficient discharge of the duties of the MPs, we do not believe in affording exorbitantly expensive and unnecessary luxuries to the M Ps
An MP is also an Aam Aadmi and should face his private life like any other common man does. Any costs to the exchequer, private enterprises or to the taxpayer’s money should be completely justified by commensurately larger benefits to society at large.
