When Parliament is in session, there is a special programme every day on Doordarshan about the proceedings in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Watch the proceedings or read about it in the newspapers and note the following:
(i) Powers of the two Houses of Parliament.
(ii) Role of the Speaker.
(iii) Role of the Opposition.
(i) Powers of the two Houses of Parliament: The members of Lok Sabha are directly elected by the people of the country and exercise real power on behalf of those people. The members of the Rajya Sabha are elected indirectly and perform some special functions. The most common function of the Rajya Sabha is to look after the interests of various states, regions or federal units. Any law needs to be approved by both Houses. But if there is a difference of opinion between the two Houses, the final decision is taken in a joint session in which members of both Houses sit together.
(ii) Role of the Speaker (Lok Sabha):
(iii) Role of the Opposition: The main role of the Opposition is to question the government for its actions and hold them accountable to the public. This also helps in exposing the faults of the Ruling Party and fixing those faults. The Opposition is equally responsible for upholding the best interests of the people of the country.
