dc.description.abstract	The presence of opposition parties in the legislature and a recognised Leader of Opposition guarantee the representation of minority views. The recent row over the appointment of Leader of Opposition led to emergence of different viewpoints. It started with Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan rejecting Congress demand for Leader of Opposition status for its nominee. The importance of having a Leader of Opposition came under discussion mainly due to the necessity of LOP in the appointment of CVC, Chairman and members of NHRC and Lokpal. In the light of these developments, the present chapter tries to analyse the role of opposition in the Indian Parliament and the recent issue of appoin tmen t of Leader of Opposition.	en_US
