The Vice President Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar today said that no country or system could flourish or blossom without discipline or decorum. The moment discipline and decorum are compromised, our institutions suffer severely, he emphasised.
Addressing a group of Indian Forest Service probationers at Parliament House today, he said that as Chairman, Rajya Sabha, “I am working in a manner, using everything under my command to ensure the temple of democracy, in the largest democracy has decorum and discipline.” Calling for zero tolerance towards lack of decorum and discipline, he said that if you do that, it will bring change dramatically.
“To enforce decorum and discipline, sometimes we have to take recourse to unpalatable situations, but we must never hesitate because decorum and discipline are connected with our growth, with our reputation, with our prosperity. The moment we take a lenient view, we do not serve well to society,” Shri Dhankhar underlined.
