Legislative Responsibility

Parliament is the highest seat of elected representatives primarily tasked with formulating laws and listening to the burning concerns of the public. It does not only discuss the problems people face daily but also issues rulings in the name of government to address them. Parliament has the responsibility to institutionalise democratic principles, values and norms by giving space to the opposition parties. Based on the principle of separation of powers, it serves as a curb on the authoritarian impulses of the government. It has a vital role in balancing the executive and judiciary. In addition to forming and toppling the government, it guides the nation in times of trouble. The elected wing brings together all forces when there is a threat to national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
