New Delhi, Sep 1: Firing a salvo at Gandhian Anna Hazare, former Union Minister Shashi Tharoor has said how can a person “who never stood for elections” claim to be the voice of the people.
Asserting that laws can be made only by Parliament, Tharoor, who is a first time MP from Kerala, said, “We cannot have a small group of unelected people imposing their will on Parliament because in the long term the danger will be to you the people....
“I do not believe that we can conduct democracy either from Ramlila Ground or from television studio. Democracy must be conducted through both Houses of Parliament.”
