"In my younger days we were taught that the essence of democracy is 3D — debate and discussion, dissent and finally decision. But when I retired from Parliament in July (after over four decades in public life), I find there was another D — disruption of proceedings of the House," he said.
Mukherjee was speaking after inaugurating "The Hindu Centre for Politics and Public Policy" — a think tank on public policies and governance-set up by English daily in Chennai.
The function, in which he inaugurated the centre by unveiling a plaque was attended by a galaxy of personalities that included Congress President Sonia Gandhi, senior BJP leader L K Advani, former Prime Minister Deve Gowda, CPI general secretary Prakash Karat, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, Union ministers and MPs.
The President, who had a long distinguished Parliamentary career, also spoke on the need to discuss how institutions of Parliamentary democracy can be strengthened.
Speaking on disruptions, he said, "We cannot simply brush it aside and say it may be necessary. The persons who are doing it, these are persons in Parliament who are equally responsible personalities. Is it not time to find out how to address the issue."
Mukherjee said it is said that sometimes it is necessary to bring around a recalcitrant administration for finding a resolution to issues.
