Demand Of A Clarification On The Two Contradictory Statements Made By … on 16 December, 1998<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/pre>\n
                                          BR>Title:Demand of a clarification on the two contradictory  statements made by the ministers on vendalism, obscene demonstration and  harassment of artists including Shri Dilip Kumar.   <\/p>\n
SHRI RUPCHAND PAL <\/a>:Sir, please refer to page 954 of Kaul and Shakhder’s  Parliamentary Practice and Procedure which speaks on the Doctrine of Ministerial  Responsibility. It says that the Parliamentary control over the Ministry rests  on the fact that any action of the Ministry can be called in question by any  Member. This is the Doctrine of Ministerial responsibility.\n<\/p>\n
Sir, yesterday, the hon. Home Minister, Shri L.K. Advani made a statement  disapproving of the vandalism and obscene demonstration and harassment of  artistes and others including Shri Dilip Kumar. My point is totally different.  An hon. Minister belonging to this Government has reportedly been threatening  these artistes and supporting those people engaged in vandalism, obscene  demonstration and all such things. It is not only that. It has never happened  that once a film has been approved by the Censor Board a film which has been  awarded at least 14 international awards – it has not been allowed to be  screened. I am not going into the details of the film but the freedom of  expression is jeopardized. The artistes are feeling that some extra  constitutional authority has declared a cultural emergency. My point is  different.  \u00ba\u00c9\u00a6\u00c9\u00c9{\u00c9\u00cai\u00c9  \u00a8\u00c9\u00bd\u00fe\u00c9\u00e4n\u00f9\u00aa\u00c9 : +\u00c9{\u00c9x\u00c9\u00e4 +{\u00c9x\u00c9\u00c9 \u00ba\u00c9\u00b4\u00c9\u00c9\u00b1\u00c9 =`\u00f6\u00c9 \u00can\u00f9\u00aa\u00c9\u00c9, +\u00c9{\u00c9E\u00f2\u00c9 {\u00c9\u00c9<\u00c6]\u00f5 \u00bd\u00fe\u00c9\u00e4 M\u00c9\u00aa\u00c9\u00c9*  +\u00a4\u00c9 +\u00c9{\u00c9 \u00a4\u00c9\u00e8`\u00f6 V\u00c9\u00c9<\u00aa\u00c9\u00e4*  <\/p>\n
SHRI RUPCHAND PAL <\/a>: How can a Minister say like  that? He has not withdrawn what he has said. He must come to the House and  explain why he has supported such an activity. I want a direction from the  Chair. After a statement has been made by the hon. Home Minister, how can a  Minister of State continue to say like that?…(Interruptions)\n<\/p>\n

SHRI RUPCHAND PAL <\/a>: We are not satisfied. It is a  collective responsibility. The Government cannot speak in two voices. One  Minister is making one statement and another Minister is making another  statement. We want a ruling from the Chair. How can the Governnment speak in two  voices?\n<\/p>\n
