The prime minister has followed a policy of using Parliament to reach out to a national audience rather than make himself and his government accountable.
PM Narendra Modi, who conducts his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat , is known for not addressing press conferences and has done only one press conference in the nine years of his Prime Ministership. However, he had not taken questions.
Chances are he would talk about the many 'parikshas' the marginalised in India have to fight daily, and the 'parikshas' of conscience each of us face when we see the persecution of those who do not belong to the majority faith.
Our PM hasn’t taken challenging questions from either the public or the press for the last seven and a half years. You, dear students, could do the nation a huge favour by asking the kinds of questions normal citizens in a democracy should ask their leader.
