Mr Speaker Sir, I have come with the motion today. Three days are left. However, the previous Lok Sabha is witness and the record of the House is a proof to show how the minority was transformed into majority overnight.When the voters were unaware as to what was happening, the honor of democracy was being robbed, at that time honesty was being bargained and horse trading of Members of Parliament was openly taking place. Since thatmatter is still sub-judice, I do not want to say much on it. But we saw how a minority Government turned into a majority Government. We too could have resorted to that method. But we refused to go that way. We would like toassure you that we will not commit the sinful act of adopting unjust method of resorting to corrupt practices or bargaining honesty for coming to power or for remaining in power. Democracy rests on moral values. Basically that is a morality based system. The previous Government had the option of entering into alliance honestly. There was no need to split opposition parties. There was no need to overstep anti-defection law. The alliance should be formed honestly and transparently. If political parties propose to come together with authentic transparency, they should do so but on the basis of a common programme and not on the basis of their share of participation in the Government. They should not deposit lakhs of rupees in the banks for this purpose. If the country has really entered into the phase of coalition Governments, then the old experiences of 1977 or 1989 should not be repeated. Is it not the demand of the hour? Should not we resolve this? It has been the history of Congress that first they extend their support, then soon after they draw it. This is the sequence which is coming down from Travancore days. If there is a change in the ideology of the Congress, then we will welcome it. But its history till date speaks a different story. The coalition Governments collapse on such issues that have no bearing on the national life. At the moment we need to learn the art of working together. This does not apply only when different political parties come together. This applies within the party as well. I do not know what curse is there on this country. I do not know what is plagueing us today. Whenever there is crisis in the country, people unitedly face it but as soon as it is over, they indulge in fighting one another and create unnecessary and irrelevant issues to undermine others. I am not an exception to it. My party is also not an exception. This is the work which no single party can do. We tried to do but we did not succeed. This is for all of us to decide collectively. I do not know what political configuration the nation will acquire tomorrow onwards. But one thing is clear that the Government should follow the middle path, irrespective of whetherthere is a one party rule or multiparty rule. The Government should be dedicated to the cause of people. Each and every conduct of the Government should be marked by transparency and authenticity. This did not take place.This did not happen during the last five years. Why it did not happen? Are we sure that this will happen in future?If United Front comes forward with a programme and assures us that because of political ambition and obsession for power no bitter experiences of the past will be allowed to repeat, only then people may feel a bit assured.Otherwise people are very unhappy. There is an apprehension of instability looming large. There is a concern for the future of India. On 29th May, 1964, as a member of Rajya Sabha, I made a speech while paying my tributes to Panditji. I would like to quote. I had said that Pandit Nehru was a fighter for the cause of freedom and was its savior. Today, that freedom is in peril. We will have to protect it with all our might. The national unity and integrity which he championed stands endangered today. We will have to maintain it at all costs. Today, apprehensions are being raised about the future of Indian democracy which was established and made a great success by PanditNehru. We have to make democracy successful by maintaining our unity, discipline and self-confidence. That leader has gone, leaving behind his followers. The sun has set. We will have to make our way under the starry nights. This is the period of great test. If we all manage to dedicate ourselves to a noble cause that could make a strong, capable and prosperous nation and contribute with a sense of self pride to the restoration of world peace, only then we will be able to pay our real tributes to that great soul. I conclude this part of quotation from my speech. During the last 50 years we have made enormous progress. Nobody can deny it. At the time of election campaign I had enough materials to launch a tirade against the policies of the previous Government. But everywhere I had said that I was not one of those who deny the achievement of last fifty years. To do so would be tantamount to nullify the achievement of our nation. That would be injustice to our farmers and our labourers and in fact it will not be a good gesture towards the common man of this country. At this moment, when fifty years have already elapsed since independence, and we are going to celebrate the golden jubilee of our independence, the question that arises in our mind and that should indeed arise is as to what is the condition of this country and why we have lagged behind? Those countries which came into existence after us, have left us far behind in the race of development. Today we are regarded as one of the poorest country of the world.
