As turmoil-ridden session ended, he warned that the politicsof disruption would be a "grave violation" of democracy and couldlead to "deeply divided and disenchanted" country.
He promised that issues raised in the CAG report over coalblock allocation would not be swept under the carpet and whatever correctiveaction is necessary will be taken.
Noting that the country is faced with several challenges onsecurity and economic front, Singh said the government can rebuild growthmomentum but is "constantly distracted by the actions of those who preferobstruction over discussion".
Speaking to reporters and later in a message to the nation,Singh said the CAG report on coal block allocation should have been discussedin Parliament and Public Accounts Committee but the Opposition chose to causedisruptions.
"We have just ended a wasted session of Parliament.Both the Houses were paralysed because CAG has issued a report which rightly orwrongly has certain allegations about public functionaries," Singh toldreporters outside Parliament shortly after the end of Monsoon Session.
Without naming BJP which disallowed functioning ofParliament by pressing for the Prime Minister's resignation, he said, "TheOpposition chose not to take advantage of the subtle institutional practicesdealing with the reports of CAG and insisted on disrupting Parliament. This isnegation of democracy."
He asked "countrymen and countrywomen to make up theirmind if this is the right way" to serve the functioning democracy.
"We take pride in the fact that since Independence, wehave been a practising and functioning democracy. What we have witnessed inthis session is a total negation of that.
"All right thinking people in our country should standup and unitedly come up in (one) voice that, come what may, Parliamentaryinstitutions must be allowed to function with the norms as we have known themsince Independence," the Prime Minister said.
Insisting that "We have great respect for theinstitution of CAG", he said, "but if we do respect this institution,we must be willing to debate its finding in PAC or even on the floor ofParliament which we have always been willing."
Attacking BJP, Singh said, "The Opposition chose not totake advantage of the subtle institutional practices dealing with the reportsof CAG and insisted on disrupting Parliament.
This is negation of democracy."
He warned that "If this thought process is allowed togain momentum it will be a grave violation of Parliamentary politics as we haveunderstood."
Parliament could work only for six out of 19 days ofsittings as BJP continued to demand the Prime Minister's resignation besidescancellation of coal block allotments and setting up of independent inquiry.
"We have had one wasted session. I hope Parliament canget back to business in the next session," Singh said.
"Meanwhile the Government must act wherever it canwithout the benefit of Parliamentary guidance," he said, adding that was"instructing all Ministries to accelerate their consideration of criticalissues where decisions are needed to get the economy moving again."
Talking about challenges on the economic front, he saidIndia is also passing through an "exceptionally difficult phase" andits economy is experiencing problems.
"We must work hard to ensure that the Indian economyreturns to high growth. I have no doubt we can do it," he said, addinghowever that "We cannot do this if the government is constantly distractedby the actions of those who prefer obstruction over discussion."
