2) The attempt by the executive to subvert the independent function of the legislature and its secretariat has serious implications for Indian polity. Discuss critically these implications and comment if there should be an alternative manner to convene parliament. (250 Words)

Implications are: basic tenet of parliamentary form of government, where there is seperation of powers, executive is responsible to the legislature stands disturbed, in such cases. Ethically also is not in favour, executive subverting the secratriat for its own good, for the legidlsature main purpose is the dissemniation of information,even more important than making laws. So while executive, in cases where subverts the legislature;
1. masses are unaware of the debate held in the parliament
2. laws making is affected, sessions are short, some state legislatures have been known to hold session for only 3 days  or so, some 14 days. Is this democracy we want?
Parliament should be held keeping in mind:
1. elections in the state legislature, for e.g. recently, in gujarat, due to elections, winter session was postponed to be held from 14th Dec, this will prevent chaos, ethically a good practice.
