When a sitting MP repeatedly moves the court to attend Parliament while remaining detained under the NSA, it raises an uncomfortable institutional question. Amritpal Singh has now missed one session and is seeking permission for another, leaving his constituency effectively unrepresented on the floor of the House. But beyond the individual, the larger issue is about precedent and accountability. Should an MP under preventive detention continue to hold office without participating in Parliament ? And does repeated litigation to attend sessions expose gaps in how the system balances national security, constitutional process, and parliamentary functioning ?
