holidays or condolences?

Why must there be "holidays" in LS & RS for every condolence? Can't there be just a show of respect band farewel to the departed soul and be back to the business of the House? There are many thousand members present and past.

I can't agree with you more. If shouting slogans and adjorning parliament, were solutions to problems ... well then the UP and bihar assemblies would have been the best around. (Who can forget the shameful and hilarious mike throwing and slipper throwing incidence). I guess these people think that its a great acheivement to be to stop the government machinery from functioning. We need to realize we have come a long way from a foreign ruler ruled the country and we had strikes against them.
