As per US constitution the President is a role model for the people of the country.So it expects its President to be with high morals.As per rules even a divorcee is disallowed.

just dont involve US in everything....indian democracy is very different from US's.by the way can you count a single high moral in president BUSH........
Till now i had high regards for Mr PM, after seeing today's statement, he also seems to be the bird of same flock. He says others have the same charges too that means he believes that Mrs pratibha is also a defaulter. If a common man applies for a Govt. job in india that firm makes sure that he/she doesnt have any criminal record or debt hanging over his/her head. then why not have a clean slate for President post. Onething is sure how much the common man may crib at last it is going to be corrupt politicians electing a corrupt president.

Mr Manmohan singh never faught an election thru ballot of common people but went thru indirect route to become a prime minister. Where does he stands even before people like VP Singh? If we say that Dr Kalam is not a political person which he his not, Manmohan singh is probably the only prime minister in a parliamentry democracy who never faught a dirwect election till date! You do not expect much democracy from such background!!

Mate, he contested from Delhi and failed once. I think you want to say this is the first PM who is hanging on his chair thru RAJYASABHA.

HE IS JUST A PUPPET ONLY-KEEPING HIS pagri AT DON,S FEET ALLWAYS....SHAME FOR MERA BHART MAHAN
While stiil people didn't forget her comments on Purdah, yesterday she said one more interseting thing thats talking with the ghost of a dead man.Whose ghost it might have been?????????????
Sonia Gandhi wants to be the ad hoc president of India too now after the PM's chair.All Congress Puppets ruled from Madams house can patil take the presidents chair and will the world leaders accept her. can be be a global ambassador for India at a time when India is advancing to new heights
Let your criticism be Creative, All that is happening here is destructive. Truly said that the Prime Minister have not won an election, but that doesn't mean he falls shot of something. His path is different, we say all that time that politicians are this & that but when a Person with a non political career becomes a Prime Minister the same crown yells that he has not contested even an election. How far is this Justified? Be responsible Citizens, we all tried to reinstall His Excellency Mr. Kalam for the second term but that was not the mood of the public(Which transforms into politicians).We the netizens will be a mare 5% of the entire nation. We did our Job. The Job well done. We desired a second term for the president but things are not on our side. The majority thought the otherwise. Lets accept it and be happy that we had an Intellectual as our President for 5 years which no other Country had. Let some one else get the chance too. Ours is a diverse country and there are many other fields that needs representation. Lets think that this time its turn of a Social Worker. No one is perfect. We have to give a chance to prove themselves. Lets leave politics and get involved in a constructive manner. We have a chance too. We have out general elections due in an year. Lets prepare for that and let our own inner conscience take stock of whom to vote. Not the Parties, Religion, Caste, Regionalism or Personal gains. Hope for the best prepare for the worst...

criticism can be creative. all if said is fine and dandy.
we never tried to reinstall kalam. we merely opined.
we never had the power to vote for kalam, only the politicians have. our mood will not be heard - since the politicians are choosing someone that fits them, they have been self serving this time (i wont talk abt the other times)
the PM surely cant have too much credit, or have a lofty conscience, and follow duplicity about his cause and kalam's cause.
we had an intellectual for 5 years, we could have easily extended it. prathibha is a lady for lady's sake. if the congress was really interested in having a lady for women's liberations' sake - they would have found a best-fit candidate, not prathibha. they dint even go for a consensus, because madam wants a puppet. kalam was a consensus candidate, not prathibha. kalam was so good , even the opposition couldnt disagree. now, we have prathibha whom even thier pown partymen like natwar singh disagree

I never knew that mud-slinging can be creative too. ... LOL. Anyways, dear CC, why should we leave politics. Politics is not a dirty term. It is our leaders who have made it so. Country can not be run by individuals , nor social workers can run it. Social workers are part of our system. For making policies machinery is required and that is provided by political parties. You can not ignore them. And now, you name one party who works in interest of common man. Every one who comes to power has only objective of setting the records with rivals and filling their own coffers. Otherwise how come these politicians have crores with them which you and me can not have in this life time. I am not a pessimist but I am at a lost, where are we being led to this way.

get your facts clear before you bark something out.. you should learn to me all these looks like constructive criticism... do not impose your ideas on others... just express your opinion.. Every one is as responsible as you are thats why they voice their opinion... its so foolish of you to think that the citizens are not responsible... when you say public.. its just politicians (may be you are from one of those politician's family).. public is out here ..voicing their concern... hear them loud! if you can
Our P.M Dr.Manmhohan Singh is not all what we think.when he was finance secretary he worked for the interests of Ranbaxy,he refused to renew the licence of a Swiss company on behest of Ranbaxy.Its shameful that he is defending a Candiate whose brothers and husband are involved in criminal cases.
We have Puppet PM Manmohan, We have criminal tainted central ministers like Lalu, but now, thanks to the 'great sacrificer' Sonia Gandhi, we are going to have a Puppet And Tainted President !

Ever since he became PM, he has been defending criminals like Lalu Yadav, Taslimuddin and Shibu Soren. Now he is defending a lady who believes in communion with ghosts - this is tantra at the lowest level or black magic. Of course, the strongest point of the PM is that he is bending forward to do Mrs. Gandhi's shoe laces and bending backward again to undo them. Three cheers for the PM.
