Punjab recently witnessed a mock Vidhan Sabha session, although many citizens joked that it looked suspiciously similar to the real one—only with more enthusiasm and fewer walkouts. For once, the Speaker didn’t have to shout “Order! Order!” every 10 seconds, and the “MLAs” actually read their papers instead of waving them in the air like angry pigeons.
The organizers claimed that the mock session was meant to “teach youth how the assembly functions.” Ironically, this created confusion because the mock session had proper debate, research, and logic—none of which resemble the current political scene. Some senior leaders were reportedly shocked, saying, “Eh ki ho gaya? Lok assembly ch vichaar vi kardi aa hun?”
Participants took their roles extremely seriously. Young “MLAs” raised issues like unemployment, drug abuse, and economic collapse—topics the real assembly occasionally remembers, usually right before elections. Seeing youngsters discuss real problems made many actual politicians uncomfortable. One veteran leader whispered, “Eh bachche zyada hi serious ne… Eh jehre sawaal puchh rahe ne, asi ta jawab hi ni tayar kita!”
The mock opposition played its role beautifully—criticising, questioning, and suggesting solutions. This was considered deeply unrealistic because in real politics, suggesting solutions is seen as a dangerous, career-ending activity. The mock treasury benches also did their job, defending policies without blaming the previous government too much—a level of discipline never attempted in actual governance.
Observers said the event felt like watching a “parallel Punjab”—one where people debate without shouting, listen without interrupting, and disagree without abusing. Experts immediately rejected the possibility that such behaviour could ever enter the real Vidhan Sabha. “Fantasy hai,” one analyst declared. “Reality ch ta mic mute kar dene ya phir naarebaazi start ho jandi.”
The most amusing part was the mock resolutions. Students presented well-researched proposals, properly drafted and logically explained. The last time such drafting was seen in Punjab politics was… well, nobody remembers. Some politicians suggested adding a special award category: “Best Resolution That Will Never Be Implemented in Real Life.”
In the end, the mock Vidhan Sabha session proved one thing: Punjab’s youth can run a better assembly than many of the people currently running it. It was a refreshing reminder that democracy has hope—mostly because the next generation hasn’t yet learned the sacred political art of doing nothing efficiently.
As one participant said, “Sanu taan lagga asi mock assembly karan aaye haan. Par jado dekhya ki asli wale vich ki hunda… laggeya assi full-time job layi tyaar aa!”
