Q1.Read the following passage carefully and answers Them.

1Democratic polity and the institutions that are meant to serve it need to be continuously nurtured. However, the nation has seen a decline in the functioning of these institutions, particularly in the Parliament which has been suffering from progressive corrosion and debility.

2. In the 1950s and 1960s, when the Parliament was young, a day spent in the gallery was an enriching experience. Nowadays, citizens see members misbehaving and start asking questions that should worry our honourable MPs: Is this the kind of the Parliament that the country fought for? Is this what the founding fathers of the Constitution really wanted?

3. The Parliament is housed in a magnificent building and people still look at its portals with respect. However, our MPs do not know that people are looking at what happens inside its high-domed chambers with increasing cynicism.

4. Intolerance of another's views, daily walkouts, uproars, hitting below the belt, exchange of invective, at times spiced with abuse has become a common sight and has replaced serious deliberation. 

5. More serious, however, is the sheer dereliction of duty in a vital area that gives the Parliament its essential power to keep the executive in check the power to sanction money and the right to know whether it has been spent rightly.

6. What the nation has been watching with dismay is the casual manner in which the Parliament chooses to pass the Budget these days without any scrutiny. The tax collected is sacred and meant to be spent with a prudent housewife's caution.

7. The presence of tainted ministers, which has thrown the present Parliament into crisis, is certainly not in the interest of the country and cannot be pushed under the carpet. They are there because most political parties have a tendency to reward criminals with party tickets in return for the help given by them at the ground level. Many of these criminals and the corrupt have been given ministerial berths.

8. The compulsions of the coalition era have made national parties dependent on smaller parties which are under greater influence of the tainted men.These small parties, in turn, exercise a sort of political blackmail on the government of the day that is dependent on them for survival.

9. The Supreme Court wants the Parliament to pass a law that would prevent the criminals and the corrupt from contesting elections. The Election Commission proposed that anyone against whom charges had been framed by a court should be banned from fighting elections.
