Naidu said defections are being encouraged, with parties granting turncoats poll tickets. 

Ex-VP Venkaiah Naidu calls for strengthening of anti-defection law

Naidu said defections are being encouraged, with parties granting turncoats poll tickets.&nbsp;

Former Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday said parties should be discouraged from promising freebies without adequate resources to back their assurances and also called for strengthening the anti-defection law to check the "disturbing trend" of frequent party-hopping by leaders.
Speaking at a get-together function at his residence here after receiving the Padma award, Naidu said announcing "freebies" during elections without listing out funds mobilisation is an unhealthy trend which should be discouraged and people should question the leaders and parties making such lofty promises.
He said that he felt humbled and gratified on being conferred Padma Vibhushan, the second highest civilian honour in India.
"This recognition of my humble contribution to the nation strengthens my resolve to serve society with renewed vigour," the former vice-president observed.
Naidu was awarded Padma Vibhushan on Monday evening by President Droupadi Murmu at a function at Rashtrapati Bhawan.
"Defections are being encouraged. We should strengthen the anti-defection law," he asserted.
"Now, the worry is that there is a fall in the standards in public life. In politics, people often change their parties. The latest trend is people are in one party in the morning and join another party in the evening and then they criticise your leader and say things left and right. Some of them are favoured with tickets also.
"This is a very disturbing trend and people should avoid it. People should work at parties and prove their credentials. If anybody wants to change parties, one should resign from the post given by that party and then only join another party. One can understand making accusations, but what is happening is not accusing but abusing," Naidu said.
He said another unhealthy trend is that people are making promises left and right, without considering where the money will come from, as there is no money. People should also question parties which were clueless on resources, but made empty promises to acquire power, he said.
"Political parties must come out with a manifesto and secondly, should come out with schemes supported by the financial health of the state and third, how they are going to mobilise resources and then spend whatever they want to," the former vice president said.
He wondered how it was possible to give everything for free as "money does not come from trees". But then some of the leaders and parties are making promises left and right even when the financial health of the state is weak, he observed.
Naidu said even when the financial burden of lakhs of crores of rupees is there on states, everything is being promised for free.
"I am against freebies. I am in favour of two things -- education and health should be given free. Make education and health free, you can avoid all others. They are not doing that," he lamented.
"This sort of promises and freebies should be discouraged and political parties should question how you are going to mobilise resources. Manifesto and resource mobilisation and financial health of the state should be presented to the people," he said.
Deploring the steep decline in standards of public life, the former vice president said people were increasingly abusing their political rivals and using vulgar language, rather than indulging in healthy criticism. He described this as an unfortunate development and appealed to the voters to reject such candidates who use vulgar language and are known to be openly corrupt.
Parties should present alternative policies instead of accusing others, he said.
Narrating his recent meeting with a religious saint who migrated from Andhra Pradesh to Tamil Nadu, he said though he had Muslim origins he sang Ram bhajans every morning.
Observing that culture is a way of living and religion is a way of worship, he said, "Rama is a cultural embodiment of the state, he is not a religious person. Rama is an ideal human being, a great ruler, a great father, and a great son, who led an ideal human life. We must lead a life like him and try to follow his ideals." Naidu said he has maintained high values in politics and recalled how he strove to maintain the dignity and decorum of the Rajya Sabha as its chairman. He advised parliamentarians to debate, discuss, and decide and not disrupt the proceedings of the House. MPs rushing into the Well of the House was not a sign of a healthy democracy, the former Rajya Sabha chairman said.
Naidu reminisced that the highlight of his tenure as Presiding Officer of the Upper House was the introduction and enactment of the Bill on the abrogation of Article 370. "The results are there for all to see. Today, Kashmir is a haven of peace attracting tourists and investment," Naidu remarked.
The former Vice President of India observed that the country is on the rise and that several major western powers could not digest this extraordinary growth of our nation. India's development trajectory is unstoppable, he said.
"But at the same time, they cannot ignore India and they have to maintain a relationship with India. India can never be ignored in the present situation.
"We are the world's largest democracy and we must make efforts to make it the healthiest and ideal democracy, for that all political parties must ensure this," he noted.&nbsp;

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has written a letter to Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu, claiming he was approached by &ldquo;certain people&rdquo; who asked him to assist in toppling the MVA government in Maharashtra so that the state could be forced into mid-term elections.
He claimed that the Enforcement Directorate and other central agencies were being used with the "oblique motive" of toppling democratically elected governments.
In the letter to Naidu, who is also the chairman of the Rajya Sabha, Raut said central agencies like the ED were &ldquo;systematically targeting&rdquo; Shiv Sena leaders, after the party formed the MVA government in Maharashtra with the NCP and Congress after severing ties with its old ally BJP.
Raut requested Naidu to take note of the &ldquo;abuse of power&rdquo; and alleged harassment of Rajya Sabha members, and said the vice president should also speak up and take action in this connection.
Raut, who is the Rajya Sabha member, asserted that the Shiv Sena-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government will complete its five-year term, and said he will not bow down and will continue to speak the truth.
The Shiv Sena's chief spokesperson wrote the letter to Naidu on Tuesday and also sent its copies to leaders like Congress's Rahul Gandhi and NCP president Sharad Pawar.

Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu on Thursday said he is examining the privilege motions moved against Union Minister for Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw for 'misleading' parliament on the Pegasus issue.
After examination, a clarification will be sought from the minister. The decision to admit or reject would be taken depending on that. Naidu said in the Rajya Sabha that Congress' KC Venugopal and two more MPs have given notice of privilege against the IT minister.
"I am examining it," he said. "Once I examine it, I will have to seek the clarification of the minister and then we will get back to you." Leaders of the Congress, TMC and CPI have moved privilege motions against Vaishnaw following a report in the New York Times claiming that the Indian government bought the Israeli spyware in 2017 as part of a USD 2 billion package for weapons.
The government maintained on the floor of the House that it had nothing to do with Pegasus and that it never bought the spyware from the NSO Group.
Most of the last winter session of Parliament was hit by the Pegasus controversy after reports alleged that the government was using the military-grade Israeli spyware to target political leaders, journalists, judges and civil society activists.
Earlier, when the House met for the day, Naidu said he has rejected a notice under rule 267 on the Pegasus issue.
Admission of a notice under rule 267 calls for setting aside the business of the day to take up the issue being listed in the notice.
"There is a notice under (rule) 267 for which I have already given my decision yesterday about Pegasus. I am not accepting it," he said.

Amid outrage over hate speeches and calls for violence against Muslims at Haridwar Dharam Sansad, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu has sent a strong message on secularism.
Venkaiah Naidu on Monday expressed his strong disapproval of attempts to ridicule other religions and create dissensions in the society. He said that every person has the right to practice and preach his or her faith in the country.
"Practice your religion but don't abuse and indulge in hate speech and writings," the Vice President said at an event organised to mark the 150th death anniversary of Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara in Kerala's Kottayam. Saint Kuriakose was a spiritual leader and social reformer from the Kerala Catholic community.
Observing that hate speeches and writings are against culture, heritage, traditions, constitutional rights and ethos, Naidu said secularism is in the blood of every Indian and the country is respected world-over for its culture and heritage.
In this context, the Vice President called for strengthening the Indian value system, an official statement said.
The Vice President said community service must be made compulsory for students studying in government as well as private schools as it would help them to develop an attitude of sharing and caring in their interaction with others.
