The odd-even rule has been put into action and it has created a furore of its own. While many in the country support the move by the center, a lot of people have also come out in absolute protest against it, many of them being MPs themselves.
After an MP Vinay Goel violated the rule in protested, and MP Paresh Rawal paid his fine after mistakenly violating the rule, the most recent protester is MPÂ Ram Prasad Sharma. Mr. Sharma arrived at the Parliament riding a horse throughout traffic.
If that wasn’t enough, he also mocked the rule by hanging a ‘Pollution-free Vehicle’ sign on the horse. When questioned, he said that the odd-even rule is very inconvenient to those who are working for the people’s benefit, the MPs. He complained, saying they should either be exempted from the rule or be given cars by the Government.
