interest of public further, the parliament is also vested with power to amend even the constitution duly following the envisaged procedure as such, both the houses of parliament debate, discuss and deliberate on various issues of public importance and make laws and rules from time to time during these discussions or debates, the council of ministers, including the prime minister, usually make certain promises and give certain assurances to the house, when the members express certain doubts on the proposed legislations it is the bounden duty of the council of ministers, ie, the government to fulfil these promises and assurances to ensure the dignity of parliament in the eyes of common people if the government fails to implement the promises or assurances given in the supreme legislative body of the country, the people will lose faith in the parliamentary system, which is detrimental to the interest of a democratic system particularly, the people for whose benefit the assurances are given but not fulfilled feel betrayed by their own government and dissatisfaction grow in their mind which can become a threat to sovereignty of the countryover a period of time, the political parties winning the public mandate and forming the government are ignoring the promises made or assurances given by their predecessor governments thinking that those promises or assurances were not given by their own party without considering the fact that those assurances were given in the supreme legislative body of the country and not fulfilling them will tamper the image of parliamentary system of democracythe bill, therefore, seeks to provide the constitutional guarantee to the assurances given or promises made by the council of ministers including the prime minister in either house of parliament either during the debate or discussion on any issue or while answering any question or responding to any notice or motion or in response to any matter raised by any member under the prescribed rules, by issuing an executive order to give effect to the promises made or assurances given, so that the successor governments cannot escape from implementing itsimilarly, the bill also seeks to provide the constitutional guarantee to the assurances given or promises made by the council of ministers including the chief minister in the state legislatureshence this billnew
