LS Speaker Om Birla would like this
Over the past few days, Speakers ( LS + RS ) were forced to suspend some 23 odd members for shouting / rowdy behaviour / obstructing the smooth working of the Parliament
This is the story of most past sessions of the Parliament, with very little getting accomplished for the benefit of 140 crore citizen
Suspending members in the past has not led to any improved behaviour of current members ( - much like capital punishment has failed to reduce the number of murders ? )
There is only one solution to put a permanent end to this tamasha :
No more parliament session which is physical
All sessions to be “ virtual video sessions “ in which :
Members to participate online from their homes
Speaker has Admin Control, to turn off the video / audio of any rowdy / shouting member or of a member who exceeds more than 3 minutes of speaking
To be able to " speak " , a member will need to fill in an Online Form on Sansad Portal, requesting permission to speak, clearly selecting ( from appropriate drop lists ),
- which session
- which subject / topic
Based on this, Speaker will confirm or deny permission ( this will get displayed on the Portal )
Or the Speaker may email the concerned Member to just “ Record “ his / her speech ( audio ) on the Snsad Portal , which ( assuming permission was granted ), will get PODCAST at the allotted time-slot
Any citizen should be able to login , into any session as a Mute Spectator, by entering his / her Aadhar ID
Next ?
Projecting entire Virtual Proceedings as a 3D volumetric Hologram on a Smart phone, using technology developed by IKININC

All of this “ Virtual Loksabha “ platform development could be done in less than 3 months and at a cost of less than Rs 50 crore
This is one time cost
Now consider the SAVINGS
Let us assume that , in a year Parliament meets for 100 days ( all sessions put together )
Each session is for 8 hours
That translates into 800 work-hours / year
Recent press releases put the cost at Rs 1.5 crore / hour
Hence implementing my suggestion would save the country Rs 1,200 crore / year
No doubt, most of the Political Parties would oppose my suggestion
There is one way, we can get all parties to accept this
By conducting an ONLINE SURVEY and publishing the results
OR,
BJP could incorporate this item ( proposed Governance Reform ) in its Sankalp Patras ( Election Manifestos ) for the forthcoming Dec 2022 elections in 7 States
This single one item will ensure that it wins absolute majority in all the 7 States !
